DAVIE, FL (Nov. 25) – Team National, a member company with The Direct Selling Association participated in the 20th Annual TODAY Show Holiday Toy and Gift Drive. The DSA presented the direct selling industry’s donation live in Rockefeller Plaza.

Team National, along with twenty-five other direct selling companies donated a combined total of $14.4 million in products and cash to the Toy Drive. In its 10 years of participation, DSA member companies have proudly donated more than $110 million in products, services and cash to the Toy Drive. Once again, Team National is proud to make a contribution for such a worthy cause. The donation of $10,000 is just one way Team National reaches out and pitches in, helping provide children with the holiday spirit of gift giving, putting smiles on their faces and simply letting them enjoy being a kid.

“Giving back to charitable organizations is something we really enjoy doing all year long.  We remain mindful of those that don't have as much, especially during the holiday season. So whether it’s time, money, or other assets, we are glad and very grateful to be able to contribute,” says Team National Executive Vice President Phil Chrysler. 

“The TODAY Show Holiday Gift Drive is just one example each year of how direct selling serves as a force for good in our communities, across the country and throughout the world,” said DSA Chief Marketing Officer Amy Robinson. “Participating in the TODAY Show Holiday Gift Drive has become a tradition for many of us in the direct selling industry. The outpouring of support for this effort over the past decade has been incredible. Even more, many of these companies also contribute to a wide variety of charitable and philanthropic causes throughout the year, and each fosters positive change in the world through the products and opportunities they offer.”

The TODAY Show Toy Drive is a project of the Today Show Charitable Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Donations are matched with the needs of more than 200 organizations with which the Today Show Charitable Foundation works.
