Continuing a holiday tradition of giving 🎁

For the past 15 years, The CORE Institute and HOPCo have generously supported the Salvation Army’s Forgotten Angels Toy Drive. This initiative helps ensure children in need have a gift to open on Christmas morning. Thanks to the kindness of our team members, we donated approximately 1,000 toys this year.

Our donations were featured on Arizona’s Family’s 'Good Morning Arizona' program during it’s highly rated 6 a.m. newscast on 3TV and CBS 5, as our marketing and communications team delivered the toys to the Chandler Mall drop-off location. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Todd Phillips from The CORE Institute spoke with the news teams about our longstanding involvement in this meaningful cause.

We are grateful to everyone who contributed and helped make the holiday season brighter for families in our community. Thank you for your generous donation!
