TSMs from more than 15 Company locations participated in the program, helping to brighten the holidays for more than 1,700 individuals in the U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Spain. “Holiday Cheer for Children” takes different forms depending on the location, with TSMs often collecting gifts and food for donation to local nonprofit organizations.

Team Schein also provides gift cards to the Company’s philanthropic partners for families in need to help to alleviate some of the financial burden many individuals face during the holidays. The Company collaborates with local social service agencies to identify families who would most benefit from participating in the program.

“At Henry Schein, our culture is built on the belief that every person is as important as the next, and this Team Schein culture is integral to our business and at the core of our initiatives,” said Seema Bhansali, Vice President of Team Schein Member Experience & Inclusion at Henry Schein. “The ‘Holiday Cheer for Children’ program exemplifies the purpose-driven philosophy we have been committed to for more than nine decades, and we are pleased to celebrate another year of this very special program.”

This year, TSMs from Henry Schein’s global headquarters in Melville, New York, donated gift cards to 500 local children. Purchased through support from the Henry Schein Cares Foundation and contributions from TSMs, the gift cards will be used to buy holiday gifts.

The Company 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.

“We have partnered with Henry Schein for 13 years, and the ‘Holiday Cheer for Children’ program has continued to have an incredible impact on the community,” said Adrienne LoPresti, Executive Director at YES Community Counseling Center. “The holiday season can be difficult for individuals facing financial hardships, and this program has helped make this time of year more joyful for many families. We are grateful to the team at Henry Schein for keeping the holiday spirit alive throughout the years.”
