Assurance donated more than 300 toys to Edward Foundation’s Pediatric Child Life Program toy drive. Sponsored by the company’s Assurance Caring Together committee, employees purchased toys for children of all ages to spread joy to those hospitalized this holiday season and throughout the year. To assist donors interested in giving to the toy drive, Edward Foundation created an AmazonSmile charity list featuring approved items sought for use in the Pediatric Child Life Program. The list is available online under Edward Foundation in AmazonSmile’s searchable charities.
