i9 Special Funk Frog Offer!




The i9 Sports Experience

An Experience Beyond The Game              

To achieve our mission of helping kids succeed in life through sports, we believe the value we provide must go far beyond the sport itself. It must be about more than the rules of the game. About more than who plays what position. About more than the score.
We focus on how the game is played, how much fun we can make it for the kids, and how easy we can make it for the parents. i9 Sports offers an alternative to the disorganized, hyper-competitive, win-at-all-cost culture that pervades most youth sports programs today through a customer experience that delivers fun, safety, and convenience:
For Kids: We provide a fun, safe experience, in which kids can learn basic athletic skills, learn good sportsmanship, and increase their self-esteem.
For Parents: We provide a convenient, well organized program that doesn’t consume their family’s life.

YEAR ROUND DIAPER DONATIONS ACCEPTED

 
Since 2011, The Funky Frog has been a local drop-off location for diapers. This started in support of the Detroit Area Diaper Bank in their annual Fall Diaper Drive. Each year has been an amazing success thanks to YOU! DADB's goal was to gather 250,000 diapers by Thanksgiving each year and they met it, with help from Frog Fan's donations!! THANK YOU!

                                    Frog Fans Donation Totals:
                                     2012...........1,603 diapers
                                     2013...........7,290 diapers
                                     2014...........6,152 diapers

Unfortunately, the DADB has closed it's doors and asked the various non-profits to spearhead their own diaper collections. We know that Frog Fans have diapers that they no longer need - sizes change, children are potty trained, family members medical needs change - and are looking for a place to donate perfectly good, usable diapers (adult and child). We also know that the community has people in need of help accessing free diapers. So The Funky Frog will continue to accept all diapers - all types, styles, sizes, even open packs in any quantities - year round! Just bring the to the store during store hours and we will forward them to various local Rochester non-profits who have clients in need.




Thanks to over 30 local crafters and businesses who donated to The Funky Frog's Customer Appreciation Party held Sunday, July 8 2012 at Classic Lanes Bowling! Thanks to the 100 Frog Fans who joined the FREE fun! They raised $206 and donated 74 NEW children's books for Charlotte's Wings! We were treated to a That's Just Delish Bakeshop cake - YUM!!! The Funky Frog's owner, Renee Perkins, is very happy to be able to celebrate her 3rd anniversary of owning the store with her loyal fans and friends!

Frog Adoptions

As an adoptive mother, I am always looking for ways to help those in need of a home. The Funky Frog has provided another way for me to help...by adopting your unwanted FROGS!!

If you have stuffed frogs, frog figurines, lawn ornaments, framed pictures or frog clothing that you no longer want please donate them by dropping them off at the store during business hours and we will happily provide a loving home for them among our growing population of frogs.

How you can support your favorite charity and help save the planet one bag at a time.



Yes, The Funky Frog has always been green, from the color of his skin to the recycling of your children's items. The Frog is stepping up our efforts to save Mother Earth. We implemented some simple changes in the store such as reusing clean grocery and shopping bags to return your unsold item to consignors, recycling any plastic or drycleaner hangers you bring in and separating our paper waste for recycling - which has reduced our garbage from 2-3 bags a week to just ONE bag each 2 weeks!

If you have clean, plastic or paper, grocery, shopping or gift bags and would like to donate them to our store, please drop them by the Frog anytime we are open.

Thanks for recycling.

I just love our customers!

They have been so very supportive. I wanted to share some of the great comments. Each and every one of them makes my day and keeps me motivated to bring you the best children's consignment in Oakland County!
