Integrity's Inspiring Holiday Toy Drive Delivers 35,000 Gifts to Pediatric Patients

Integrity's Inspiring Holiday Toy Drive

In the spirit of giving, Integrity Marketing Group, a prominent player in the life and health insurance sector, has recently achieved a remarkable milestone with its fourth annual "Integrity Gives Back" Toy Drive. This year, the company collected an astonishing 35,000 toys, books, games, and stuffed animals, surpassing its goals and making a tremendous impact on the lives of children in pediatric hospitals nationwide.

This Toy Drive, deeply rooted in Integrity's culture of service, saw contributions from its extensive network of partners, dedicated employees, and numerous volunteers committed to bringing joy to young patients and their families. Bryan W. Adams, Co-Founder and CEO of Integrity, shared his pride in the company's achievements, highlighting the mission of cultivating joy during challenging times in the hospital. He stated, "Seemingly small gifts of toys, books or games can make a huge difference in the emotions surrounding a medical situation, while giving kids the chance to simply be kids."

The inspiration for the Toy Drive stems from a personal experience faced by Adams himself, when his son received a gift during treatment at Children's Medical Center Dallas. This powerful moment encouraged him to take action, hosting a modest toy drive with an initial goal of collecting 500 toys. That first year proved to be monumental, as the initiative gathered 3,000 toys, paving the way for future drives.

In the following years, Integrity expanded on that success, mobilizing employees and their families to take part across hundreds of partner offices. The results speak volumes; from 30,000 items in 2024, the organization managed to gather even more donations in its recent drive. To date, the efforts of Integrity have led to an impressive total of 80,000 toys donated over just four years.

The donations not only provide comfort and a sense of normalcy for young patients facing medical challenges, but they also create opportunities for providers to celebrate milestones, birthdays, and moments of happiness, crucial for fostering positivity amid the trials of health care. Organizations benefiting from these altruistic gifts include the Children's Medical Center in Dallas, Children's Miracle Network, Ronald McDonald House Charities, and many other pediatric hospitals across the nation.

Paulette Mulry, Vice President of Development at the Children's Medical Center Foundation, expressed gratitude, saying, "Integrity once again has displayed the power of community by uniting its employees, partners, and the community to exceed its donation goal. We know each donation will offer comfort to our patients and help us continue to provide world-class care to North Texas families and beyond."

Mary Elyse Farah, president of the Integrity Foundation, echoed similar sentiments about the overwhelming support from the community, noting that the donations extend beyond the initial goal and contribute significantly to enhancing the lives of young patients. The company also matched all gifts received throughout the drive, further amplifying the impact of their charitable efforts.

Steve Young, Chairman of the Board at Integrity, reflected on the drive's positive outcomes, remarking on the commitment of employees and partners to effect meaningful change and highlight the organization’s core values of Family, Service, and Partnership.

This initiative ultimately embodies the belief that collective action leads to more significant outcomes, as highlighted by Young: "The caring and inspiring actions of the Integrity community will bring joy to thousands of families this year, supporting them through difficult situations so they can make the most of what life brings."
