    Home products retailer Ikea has raised some USD10 million for children’s charities in 2009 through a holiday toy promo.

    A program initiated in 2003, Ikea’s Soft Toy campaign collected its largest annual donations last year. For every Soft Toy purchase, Ikea donated 1 euro (USD1.47) to UNICEF, Save the Children, and education programs in poorer countries.
