December 20, 2024- Henry Schein, Inc. and Team Schein Members (TSMs) from around the world are once again helping to brighten the holidays for individuals in need. Through its 26th annual “Holiday Cheer” program, TSMs at 15 Company locations delivered joy to more than 1,150 individuals in the United States, United Kingdom, and Ireland this season. Since 1999, this corporate flagship initiative has helped more than 20,000 underserved children, their families, and senior citizens experience cheerful holidays, with TSMs donating clothing, comfort items, toys, gift cards, and more.
At Henry Schein’s corporate headquarters in Melville, New York, Team Schein hosted a “Holiday Cheer for Children” event, where 100 children and their families opened presents while enjoying a fun-filled night with dinner, games, and music. In addition, 300 children received gift cards purchased through support from the Henry Schein Cares Foundation to help alleviate some of the financial burden many individuals face during the holidays.
In support of the communities surrounding the Company’s corporate headquarters, Henry Schein partnered with 10 Long Island-based social service organizations to pre-identify participating children and their families, including: Bethany House; Espoir Youth Program, Inc.; Family and Children’s Association; Family Service League; Hispanic Counseling Center; Madonna Heights; Nassau County Department of Social Services; The Raymar Children’s Fund; WellLife Network; and YES Community Counseling Center.
