This year, physicians and employees at Fox Valley Orthopedics kicked off their holiday season by giving to local children through the Salvation Army-Elgin, Salvation Army-Tri-City, Community Crisis Center, Breaking Free, and Mutual Ground.
Twenty-nine children, ages 1 to 12, will receive gifts from their wish lists.
This year, community groups challenged us to donate items that would help keep kids occupied indoors this winter, said Fox Valley Orthopedics Chief Executive Officer Barry Mathews. Our employees really stepped it up with everything from games and puzzles to books and toys.
