ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. All profits of Ty from the Issy collection (except Issy, New York) were donated to The Terry Fox Foundation for Cancer Research. Profits from the sale of the New York Issy went to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, to aid in pediatric cancer research.
2. The Four Seasons Hotels in 63 different cities were represented by Issy Beanie Babies bears. The name of the city was shown inside the swing tag and on the front of the tush tag. 62 of the Issy bears were sold by retailers and one was sold by the Four Seasons Hotel in New York. The New York Issy supported a different charity than the other 62 and came with a card.
