What’s New
CURRENT UPDATE
JUNE 28TH, 2023
Hello Everyone. As many of you have noticed, our operation has slowed down quite a bit since the 2020/2021 era. As people returned to work after the COVID pandemic era, we have not had as much funding or donations on a regular basis. We are still in operation, however since there is a lot less funding financially and itemized, the operation does not have normal day-to-day activities as we once did. We appreciate all the support we continuously do have and want you all to know that we are still sending boxes of cards and toys to children's hospitals and foster homes; just on a much smaller scale than what we used to. Please send all donations to our PO box for processing. Thank you again to everyone that helps keep this charity a reality.
New Sponsorship: GradedGuard
February 10th 2022
GradedGuard provides Pokelanthropy Inc. with their exclusive Graded Card cases to include in our packages to children's hospitals and foster homes. Read more about GradedGuard below:
GradedGuard Graded Card cases protect your graded collectibles from dents, dings, and cracks- and feel great in your hand while doing it.
They are reversible so you choose which side you want to protect/display. Keep the clear polycarbonate facing the back for a familiar "phone case" holder-style feel with a front raised lip to prevent scratches. Or, use the polycarbonate on the front to add a nice shadowbox effect and prevent front wear.
