About Us
Nick Rosato, Executive Director
Nick Rosato is a loving father of two and lifelong resident of Central New York. His interest in beanies began one fateful Easter morning when he received Roam, Roary and Twigs from his caring parents during the mid 90’s. Since then he has dealt and photographed many toys and collectibles but none have held his heart the way beanies have. An avid collector and everyday learner, he strives to share not only his knowledge but rekindle the same joy he felt all those years ago with the collector in you!
David Donofrio, Chair of the Board
David Donofrio is an office manager and school board member from central Ohio. He has been a collector of Beanies since the 1990’s, and his favorites include bears and holiday Beanies. His first Beanie was Zip the Cat, which he got on his birthday as a child. His favorite Beanie story involves going to a Hallmark as a child that was “sold out,” digging in a stack of other plush animals, and finding a Velvet the Panther out of the blue. He’s so excited to join Nick to bring the joy of Beanies to people who need them, and to help grow your collections, all at the same time.
