ABOUT US
Who We Are
Founded in 2016, the Giz Kids Foundation is dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to grow up healthy, confident, and ready to achieve their dreams. Our mission is to transform how kids, parents, and educators access essential education, nutrition and wellness programs, creating meaningful change that empowers families to thrive.
Through partnerships with trusted organizations like the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital and leading child health specialists, we combine expertise with creativity. Our innovative puppetry programs, deliver the Woof Chat Kids Network™ series, Gizmo Children’s Book Series, for science-backed education through engaging and heartfelt storytelling that truly resonates with children and their families.
By addressing critical issues like childhood obesity, mental health, and nutritional education, we’re equipping kids across the nation with the tools and confidence they need to grow into resilient, healthy individuals. Together, we’re building a brighter future where every child has the foundation to realize their full potential.
What We Do
We created an informative children's Network to meet the intended entertainment and educational goals. We do this by bridging storytelling, the latest LED technology, animation, and innovative live-action puppetry performances appealing to ages five to eleven's.
In each short episode, one or more characters present a conflict for the Woof Chat News Team to solve. Together, they turn to Gizmo's Woof Chat News to report helpful stories, on-location interviews, and informative experts who uncover unique and insightful ways to approach their concerns. Then, equipped with new knowledge and inspiration, everyone comes together for a humorous or touching ending.
How We Do It
