WAYNE, N.J. -- October 24, 2007 -- Today, Toys"R"Us, Inc. announced that the Toys"R"Us Children's Fund has donated $250,000 to Save the Children to help children and families forced to evacuate their homes due to the extensive wildfires raging throughout Southern California. Save the Children, a global humanitarian organization that responds to disasters and works to improve the lives of children around the world, has deployed a team of relief experts to the region. This team is charged with assessing the immediate critical needs of children and families impacted by the fires.

"Save the Children is deeply grateful for the immediate and generous support of the Toys"R"Us Children's Fund," said Mark K. Shriver, Vice President and Managing Director of U.S. Programs for Save the Children. "This donation is yet another example of the commitment the Toys"R"Us Children's Fund has made to help children in need, particularly in times of emergencies. Through this contribution, we will be able to reach thousands of children who have been forced from their homes and help ensure their safety."

"We are all saddened to see the destruction caused by these fires, and our hearts go out to all those in need, including many of our own associates and their families, who have been evacuated from their homes and affected by this disaster," said Jerry Storch, Chairman and CEO, Toys"R"Us, Inc. "Save the Children understands the unique needs of children during times of disaster and we fully support and commend their relief efforts on behalf of the kids and families impacted by this crisis."

Save the Children has responded to nearly 20 emergencies around the world over the last year, and works closely with the American Red Cross and other national response organizations in the United States to ensure that the particular needs of children are addressed during a disaster. The organization is currently setting up safe havens for children within evacuation centers throughout Southern California and is in the process of assessing what psychological and emotional support might be needed to help them cope with the disaster.

In addition to its work in the United States, Save the Children operates in more than 50 countries and serves more than 33 million children in need. The Toys"R"Us Children's Fund also partnered with Save the Children by making a $1 million donation to support tsunami relief and reconstruction efforts in Southeast Asia.

Toys"R"Us, Inc. currently operates 70 Toys"R"Us and 32 Babies"R"Us stores in California, including 56 stores within the seven counties affected by the wildfires.
