Join Us in Spreading Holiday Cheer: Toy Drive for Children’s Advocacy Center of SWFL

Donate new, unwrapped toys to select Elite DNA offices between November 4 – December 5, 2024!

Elite DNA Behavioral Health is accepting new, unwrapped toys for underprivileged children at 11 of its offices. All toys will be provided to The Children’s Advocacy Center of SWFL to distribute to children in our communities.

We invite you to help us bring joy to children this holiday season! Toy donation boxes can be found in the lobby of the following 11 offices  — from Naples to Bradenton — between November 4 through December 5, 2024. The offices will be available for toy donation drop-offs between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays. Please note that the Children’s Advocacy Center of SWFL does not accept anything resembling realistic weapons or any food items.

The mission of the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida is to provide a coordinated response to child victims of abuse & neglect; and improve the lives of at-risk children & their families through prevention services. This toy drive serves as an opportunity for Elite DNA to assist an underserved community during a time of year that is especially difficult on mental health.

“Many of us think of Christmas as a day full of happiness, celebrations, gift-giving and time with family. However, Christmas can look different for some children and their families,” said Elizabeth Dosoretz, LCSW, founder and CEO of Elite DNA Behavioral Health. “Many parents face financial constraints that don’t allow them to provide their children with the Christmas they want to, and it can take a toll on their mental health. This year we hope that, with your support, we can help bring joy to children this holiday season.”

To donate, find your nearest Elite DNA on our website or order directly through their Amazon Wishlist.
