Toy Drive supported by Integrity employees, partners and community members raised 40,000 toys, reaching a collective total of more than 120,000 toys donated since 2021 to benefit children nationwide

DALLAS, Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Integrity, LLC (“Integrity”), a leading distributor of life and health insurance, and provider of wealth management and retirement planning solutions, today announced the resounding success of its 5th annual “Integrity Gives Back®” Toy Drive benefiting pediatric hospitals and children-focused organizations across the country. Bringing together a nationwide network of partners and thousands of employees and community members, Integrity exceeded its goal of 30,000 toys to collect more than 40,000 toys, books, games and stuffed animals to assist pediatric organizations in need of donations. The participation of thousands of employees and their families across hundreds of partner offices has resulted in an incredible donation of more than 120,000 toys since the Toy Drive’s inception in 2021.

 

“Through the generous support of our employees, partners, and local community members, we are thrilled to deliver a record number of toys to children’s hospitals nationwide, making it possible to spread joy throughout the year,” said Bryan W. Adams, Co-Founder and CEO of Integrity. “Our annual ‘Integrity Gives Back’ Toy Drive has become one of our most cherished ways to celebrate the season. It is truly humbling to see our team come together to support such a meaningful initiative. As a parent who has experienced firsthand the challenges and uncertainty a care journey can bring, I know how even seemingly small gifts of toys, books or games can allow kids precious moments of normalcy and fun. I’m grateful for the generosity of the Integrity family and the way our core values lead their actions in serving the children in our communities. This Toy Drive is an example of the ripple effect that small, intentional acts of service can have on others — each toy donated represents a child whose life will be impacted for good.”

“We are humbled and grateful to announce that our Integrity family has surpassed our donation goal for the fifth year in a row, allowing us to serve more children in communities across the nation,” said Mary Elyse Farah, President of the Integrity Foundation®. “Our gratitude extends to the support shown by Integrity and the Adams family, who have generously matched all gifts received throughout the drive. Each donated item will support the mission of highly impactful organizations and bring families together in meaningful moments of happiness.”

To commemorate the fifth year of this initiative, Integrity employees set an impressive goal of collecting 30,000 toys — with Integrity committing to a 2:1 match for every donated item. This year’s drive exceeded that goal substantially, with more than 40,000 items donated, resulting in a collective total of more than 120,000 toys gifted to children since 2021. The toys, games and supplies will support families served by pediatric organizations across the nation, such as Children’s Health, Children’s Miracle Network, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Toys for Tots and many others. An unexpected gift of a toy has been shown to make a marked difference in a patient’s experience by brightening spirits during medical procedures or alleviating emotions throughout hospital treatments — stuffed animals are even used to demonstrate and teach children what to expect during procedures they are about to experience. These gifts can also serve important purposes such as highlighting milestones, celebrating birthdays, connecting with siblings and bringing families together.

Each year, the “Integrity Gives Back” Toy Drive has expanded in scope as participants embrace the Integrity spirit of giving. Integrity’s first toy drive was motivated by the personal experience of Co-Founder and CEO Bryan W. Adams, whose son received treatment at Children’s Health. The gift of a Nerf gun to his then 9-year-old son stood out as a notable highlight during the family’s medical care, inspiring the son to suggest collecting toys to help other children have that gift of joy. They set what they believed was an ambitious goal of collecting 500 toys. However, the Integrity family stepped up with a donation of 3,000 toys in that first year. Overwhelmingly positive feedback and inspiring support from participants led to the creation of an annual event that includes opportunities for community involvement.

“Through its charitable outreach, Integrity has once again filled our toy closets,” said Paulette Mulry, Vice President of Development at Children’s Medical Center Foundation. “We are deeply touched by Integrity’s commitment to bringing joy to families while supporting our mission to make life better for children. We are grateful to organizations like Integrity, whose dedication helps provide comfort and hope to patients when they need it most.”

Donation impacts youth participating in activities.

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Salesian missionaries at the Salesian Lyceum in Lviv, Ukraine*, are providing new locker rooms for the students using the sports fields. The funding for the project is thanks to donor funding from Salesian Missions, the U.S. development arm of the Salesians of Don Bosco.

Construction and landscaping for the project started earlier this year. Spaces now include a locker room for girls, a locker room for boys and a module for the separate toilets. The locker rooms were equipped with a shower room with a bench and hangers.

This donation has impacted 431 youth participating in activities at the Salesian Lyceum. Youth include orphans and those who remain internally displaced due to the war. Local teams will also rent the soccer pitch for training and have access to the separate changing rooms.

Father Taras Bayovski, headmaster of the Salesian Lyceum, said, “I am grateful that we now have modular changing rooms near the soccer and volleyball pitches. The premises of the lyceum are very limited, and promoting a healthy lifestyle through sports activities without adequate sports infrastructure has always been a challenge for us. We now have a soccer field, a volleyball court and modular locker rooms. These facilities enable us to participate in three student sports leagues including mini soccer, volleyball and rugby.”

Since the beginning of the war, Salesian Missions and Salesian missionaries in Ukraine and around the globe have supported thousands of people with projects and activities aimed at alleviating the situation of people affected by the war.

About Salesian Missions
Salesian Missions is headquartered in New Rochelle, NY, and is part of the Don Bosco Network—a worldwide federation of Salesian NGOs. The mission of the U.S.-based nonprofit Catholic organization is to raise funds for international programs that serve youth and families in poor communities around the globe. The Salesian missionaries are made up of priests, brothers and sisters, as well as laypeople—all dedicated to caring for poor children throughout the world in more than 130 countries and helping young people become self-sufficient by learning a trade that will help them gain employment. To date, more than 3 million youth have received services funded by Salesian Missions. These services and programs are provided to children regardless of race or religion. For more information, go to SalesianMissions.org.

Their combined installations of over 10MW includes commercial solar and battery storage for farms, cold storage, freight, education, multi-family residences and faith-based organizations to name a few.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Stellar Solar Commercial, one of the most experienced residential and commercial solar and battery installers in Southern California and Michigan since 1998, and consistent winner of the San Diego Union Tribune Readers Poll in the category of Best Solar Company, recently completed a record year in their commercial solar division.

While the overall size of their installations was impressive, equally important was the fact that most of them included energy storage systems that enabled the commercial customers to save even more money and protect their businesses during power outages. The wide diversity of businesses that made up the total is equally impressive as it demonstrates how a variety of sectors are utilizing solar and battery storage.

Stellar Solar Commercial CEO Kent Harle elaborated on the importance of that diversity: “As the commercial solar industry grows, that growth includes many new industries realizing the viability of solar and energy storage has on improving their bottom line and offering unparalleled protection during outages. We work with executive management and facilities managers to craft energy solutions to meet the unique, individual needs of their business.

And while we take great pride in our multi-megawatt installations, we take equal satisfaction in smaller commercial jobs as well that help small and medium size businesses increase their profitability. With the addition of batteries to almost all of our solar installations, the return on investment becomes even more clear, making going solar a smart investment for most businesses. We are proud to be one of the first commercial solar installers in the country to introduce batteries to the mix and have since maintained that leadership position.”

Stellar Solar offers no-pressure commercial and residential solar and battery quotes for home and business owners interested in solar and battery storage to reduce energy costs and a steady power supply. Commercial solar quotes are also available for businesses, nonprofits, schools and faith-based organizations.
