The Orthopaedic Institute (TOI) is proud to support its community through its annual Holiday Giving Program. TOI established the program to help families in need during the holidays and to give employees an opportunity to donate reasonable contributions that collectively, can make a large impact.

“The idea is for everyone to donate a little, so that together, we can all do a lot,” said Bailey Hulslander, TOI’s marketing director. “Our generous employees exceeded our expectations, and now we can truly make a difference in the lives of deserving families this holiday season.”

TOI decided to take on more families than ever this year and as a result, raised significantly more money than any year to date. With each employee donating the suggested $5, and many donating more than the recommendation, TOI employees raised $3,160.

The funds raised will be used to fulfill wish lists of deserving families and children. TOI adopted two families in Alachua County through Peaceful Paths Domestic Abuse Network, one family in Marion County through the Salvation Army and five individual children in Columbia County through the Lake City Dream Machine.

TOI would like to thank its employees for working together to make holiday dreams come true.
