Arthrex Inc., a global medical device company headquartered in Naples, collected gifts for families, including over 175 children, through the Collier Children’s Advocacy Center’s (Collier CAC) Adopt-A-Family program. Employees adopted 70 families this holiday season, and donated gifts for children and caregivers.

Through the Adopt-A-Family program, Arthrex Inc. employees were matched with Collier CAC families in need of support this holiday season, giving them the opportunity to fulfill the family’s wish list. Collier CAC then collected the gifts on behalf of the families.

“The generosity of the Arthrex Inc. team made such an impact on families in Collier County during the holidays,” said Jackie Stephens, CEO of Collier CAC. “Their ongoing support helps make our work possible, ensuring children and caregivers receive the resources and support care they need during difficult times.”

Arthrex Inc. has been a long-standing supporter of Collier CAC. This is the tenth year Arthrex Inc. has collected hundreds of Christmas gifts for Collier CAC families in need.

As a pioneer in surgical technology, Arthrex Inc. is guided by its core value to make people better. Through community engagement and partnerships with local nonprofit organizations such as Collier CAC, the company demonstrates its commitment to supporting the well-being of the local community.

About the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collier County 

The Collier Children’s Advocacy Center is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the first point of care for children in Collier County when abuse is suspected. Since 1986, Collier CAC has provided forensic interviews, medical evaluations, therapy, family advocacy and parent education in one child-centered setting, reducing what could be up to six separate agency visits to a single coordinated response.

Collier CAC is the only organization in Collier County legally authorized to perform forensic medical exams for children under 12 and to deliver medical, court advocacy and therapeutic services under one roof. All services are provided free of charge, removing financial barriers so families can access support regardless of circumstance.

While the organization partners closely with the Department of Children and Families, law enforcement, the State Attorney’s Office and Collier County Public Schools, it is not a government agency. Collier CAC relies on community support to sustain and expand its work, as abuse occurs in every zip code.
