Beloit, Wis. -- Patch Products, Inc. is delighted to present profits from its fourth annual Fun 4 All™ Toy & Game Sale to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rock, Walworth and Jefferson Counties and YWCA Care House of Rock County. Profits from this year's event, which was held at Patch Products on August 27 and August 28, totaled $17,700.
"Big Brothers Big Sisters is once again honored and grateful to Patch Products for including us as a recipient of the profits from this year's Toy and Game Sale," says Nancy Mignon, Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Gail Graham, Director of YWCA Care House says, "We are thrilled to be receiving a portion of the profits from Patch's Toy & Game Sale. With the additional funds, we will be providing art therapy so the abused and neglected children that we interview have an outlet to communicate their feelings."
