Orland Park, IL – December 6, 2023
In a heartwarming display of community generosity, Integrity Sports Agency (ISA) celebrated the overwhelming success of its fourth annual coat drive, surpassing its goal and making a meaningful impact on families across the United States.
Integrity Sports Agency, known for its commitment to the principles of Forthrightness, Accountability, Integrity, Trust, and Honesty (F.A.I.T.H), demonstrated that their dedication extends beyond the world of sports. The agency’s core philosophy, as highlighted by CEO Anthony Fletcher, emphasizes the importance of giving back to the community.
The results of the Integrity Sports Annual Coat Drive 2023 was another example of the agency’s commitment to making a positive difference. The initial goal set for this year’s drive was $12,000, but the ISA exceeded expectations by collecting north of $17,500. A total of 221 donors across 28 different states came together to support the cause. The widespread support allowed Integrity Sports Agency to extend its reach beyond its headquarters in the Chicago metroplex, benefiting communities in Illinois, Michigan, and New Mexico. Looking ahead, Fletcher expressed his commitment to expanding the coat drive’s impact. Inspired by donations from around the nation, Fletcher aims to extend warmth to all corners of the United States.
Six non-profit organizations were selected as beneficiaries this year, helping distribute winter essentials such as coats, hats, gloves, and other clothing items to over 355 families. The positive impact of the coat drive reached far and wide, touching lives and providing warmth during the upcoming winter season.
A testament to the agency’s influence – and Fletcher’s reputation more specifically – several donors expressed admiration for ISA’s commitment and why supporting this cause is so important.
“Big Fletch would give the jacket off his back to someone who needed it more. So when he asks for help in making sure the less fortunate find warmth, it’s time for us to respond in kind,” said Neil Everett.
The annual event, which originated from a thoughtful suggestion by former intern Brian Shallcross, has become a tradition that consistently outshines its previous accomplishments. This year’s campaign not only shattered previous records but also demonstrated the power of collective compassion in making a tangible difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
“Of all the charities out there, I’m happy to donate to the cost drive sponsored by Integrity Sports Agency,” said Dr. Donald Nichols, who donated to the cause. “It was especially gratifying this year because children on the Ramah Navajo Reservation were recipients of the warm coats for Winter. My property in New Mexico is located between the Zuni and Navajo Reservations so I am well aware of the need among Native children. Thanks ISA for a great program!”
As this holiday season kicks off, Integrity Sports Agency has now collected over $50,000 to date to provide winter essentials to over 1,000 children and adults in the United States.
