Australians Urged To Donate A Giggle For Charity

The Canon SELPHY Giggle Squad will be raising money through laughter for Camp Quality at local beaches and parks.

Supporting the motto that laughter really is the best medicine, the SELPHY Giggle Squad will be encouraging people to laugh into a specially made Giggle-o-Meter, donating $1 for each giggle to Camp Quality. As a thank you, every ‘giggler’ will receive a special souvenir photograph of themselves at the Giggle-o-Meter, printed out on Canon’s SELPHY yellow bucket photo printer. KC LU, Canon Senior Brand Manager IT, commented, “Canon SELPHY is pleased to be able to help raise money for such a beneficial cause. Canon’s SELPHY Giggle-o-Meter has been designed to encourage laughter in our local communities and to also spread the joy of photo sharing.” Heidi Bock, Camp Quality spokesperson said, “It is great to see Canon supporting our motto that laughter is the best medicine and to see Canon SELPHY spreading cheer to Australian families.” The SELPHY Giggle Squad and SELPHY Giggle-o-Meter will be travelling to beaches, shopping malls and parks in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast for the next four weeks. The SELPHY Giggle Squad is made up of professional actors and entertainers who will be motivating people to giggle. Canon SELPHY hopes to raise $10,000 for Camp Quality through the activity.
