Arthrex Giving Trees Provided Gifts to Deserving Collier County Children

Arthrex partnered with three local organizations, Grace Place, Youth Haven and Toys for Tots, to help make the 2011 holiday season special for about 200 less fortunate Collier County children. The Toy Drive was a success again this year thanks to the generosity of many Arthrex, Inc. and Manufacturing employees.
