JOHN THEISSEN FOUNDATION
Every holiday season, sick and needy Long Island kids can count on the
John Theissen Children’s Foundation to make their lives a little brighter. This
Wantagh-based charity has annually given more than 65,000 toys to these
deserving youngsters. Hospitals and child-care facilities also benefit from the
therapeutic and recreational equipment that the foundation provides. Families
struggling to pay for their children’s expensive medical treatment also
get financial support from the foundation, which helps them defray the costs
of care. John Theissen, executive director and founder, recognized the need
for this non-profit 501(c)3 organization when he was a 17-year-old recovering
from a brain tumor operation in a local children’s hospital and befriended
a 7-year-old girl named Tasha with a serious condition, who, despite receiving
very little family support during her treatment, became an inspiration due
to her positive attitude and generous spirit. He held his first toy drive in 1992
to benefit children like her. Since then, the foundation has collected hundreds
of thousands of new toys and distributed them to sick and underprivileged
children at more than 185 hospitals, agencies and child-care facilities. At
this time of year this charity truly shines, but it works hard every day to help
improve the lives of Long Island’s neediest children. To learn more about us,
