AHH Products Supports Great Causes

Since we opened our doors in 1998, Ahh Products has been active in supporting causes that we believe in.  It's not just about selling bean bag chairs and making money for us, it's also about using that success to better our community.  It sounds cliche, but we really do care!

We have partnered with the fantastic organizations below by donating bean bags, funds, advertising space, and our time.  Our hope is to educate, assist families in need, and of course to help find cures!

If you have an organization that we could potentially partner with and support, we would love to hear for you.

A letter from AutismSpeaks - November 14, 2012...

Dear Supporter,

As we near the end of 2012, we wanted to take the opportunity to pause for a moment to look back at some of the highlights of the year. Highlights like our Autism Votes team helping bring autism insurance reform to another three states and increase existing benefits in four others, bringing the total number of states with insurance reform to 32. Or our science and research team’s continued essential work in autism research: in the six years since the founding of Autism Speaks, they’ve funded over $180 million of autism research. Amazing.

Highlights like our Family Services team’s continued efforts to provide resources and support for families in the autism community, mailing out thousands of free tool kits and awarding hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants for community programs, camp scholarships and families in crisis. In 2012 they’ve answered up to 2,000 phone calls and emails per month from families looking for assistance. Extraordinary.

It’s been a year full of highlights, but we wanted to take a moment to personally thank you. Simply put: none of this is possible without you.

Thank you for your support.

-The team at Autism Speaks

  Adina's Deck & Cyber Bullying
Ahh bean bag chairs plays a starring role in a TV movie series (also on DVD) focusing on helping kids deal with cyber bullying.  Adina's Deck is the brainchild of Debbie Heimowitz, a Stanford University Masters student.  Ms. Heimowitz's research and tireless efforts resulted in a fantastic series that portrays what cyber bullying is and how it affects kids, particularly girls.   Adina's Deck is an interactive movie aimed at girls ages 9-14. The storyline focuses on the adventures of 4 technology-savvy girls who solve crimes committed using the Internet.  Through a thought-provoking script, Adina's Deck teaches kids how to recognize and combat cyber bullies and harassment.  We are proud to have been able to donate bean bags for the movie sets.
