-- Rapid Weight Loss Centers, led by South Carolina physician Dr. Kevin Sattele, is proud to announce the launch of its annual Toys for Tots Holiday Drive, inviting members of the North Myrtle Beach and Little River communities to spread joy and generosity this holiday season. The donation drive will be held at the practice’s North Myrtle Beach clinic located at 10373 SC-90 Unit B, Little River, SC 29566, as well Rapid Weight Loss Centers located in Florence and Murrells Inlet. Collection for Toys for Tots will continue through December 19, 2025.
For Dr. Sattele and his staff, the holiday season represents an opportunity to bring comfort and happiness to families in need. “Every year, our goal is to give back to the communities that have supported us for so long,” said Dr. Sattele. “This Toys for Tots drive is about more than just gifts—it’s about restoring hope, creating smiles, and making sure that no child wakes up empty-handed on Christmas morning.”
The Toys for Tots program, founded by the U.S. Marine Corps in 1947, has become one of the nation’s most cherished holiday traditions. Its mission is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute them to children who might otherwise go without during the holiday season. Through decades of community partnership, the program has delivered millions of gifts nationwide and continues to rely heavily on local support to reach families in need.
At Rapid Weight Loss Centers’ North Myrtle Beach location, the clinic will serve as an official drop-off point for toy donations. Dr. Sattele’s staff encourages patients, neighbors, and local businesses to participate by donating new, unwrapped toys suitable for children of all ages. “It’s amazing what a simple toy can mean to a child,” said Dr. Sattele. “It’s not just a present—it’s a moment of joy, a reminder that they’re cared for, and a spark of holiday spirit that can lift an entire family.”
In addition to supporting the toy drive, Rapid Weight Loss Centers will be offering special holiday incentives to encourage community participation and thank donors for their generosity. Anyone who contributes a toy donation will be eligible for exclusive discounts on several of the clinic’s most popular programs and services.
“Many people find that the holiday season can be both joyful and stressful,” Dr. Sattele explained. “There’s the excitement of the festivities, but also the pressure of shopping, planning, and often overindulging. By participating in the Toys for Tots drive, our patients can channel that energy into something positive—helping local children—while also taking small steps to prioritize their own health and well-being.”
Dr. Sattele’s centers (located in North Myrtle Beach, Florence & Murals Inlethave long been recognized across South Carolina for their comprehensive and science-based approach to weight loss and wellness. With over 25 years of medical experience, Dr. Sattele has dedicated his career to helping patients achieve their goals through individualized, physician-supervised programs that focus on nutrition, metabolism, and sustainable lifestyle changes. His practice operates several locations throughout the state, all sharing the same mission: to empower individuals to live healthier, more confident lives.
This year’s Toys for Tots drive represents another way the practice is giving back to the communities it serves. The North Myrtle Beach and Little River areas have experienced steady growth in recent years, but many families still face financial hardship during the holiday season. By collecting toys and rallying local participation, Dr. Sattele hopes to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and parents who may otherwise struggle to celebrate.
“We see patients every day who are working hard to improve their lives, whether that’s through better health, more confidence, or a stronger mindset,” Dr. Sattele said. “The same spirit of resilience and determination drives families in our community. Supporting Toys for Tots is our way of honoring that spirit and ensuring that every child experiences a moment of happiness this Christmas.”
At all three Rapid Weight Loss Centers staff will be collecting donations at the North Myrtle Beach office during normal business hours throughout the drive. Toys must be new and unwrapped, and donors are encouraged to consider gifts appropriate for children of various age groups—from toddlers and elementary schoolers to pre-teens and teens. Popular donations in past years have included puzzles, dolls, building sets, sports equipment, art supplies, and educational toys.
As the holiday season approaches, Dr. Sattele emphasized that acts of kindness like this one often have a lasting ripple effect. “When a child receives a gift through Toys for Tots, it brightens their day—but it also brings hope to their parents and reinforces the power of community,” he said. “That’s what the holidays are about: coming together, sharing what we can, and reminding one another that generosity and compassion still matter.”
The partnership with Toys for Tots continues Rapid Weight Loss Centers’ tradition of community involvement, which has included long-running initiatives such as its annual food drives supporting The Manna House of Florence. Over the years, these charitable events have collected thousands of pounds of food and countless toy donations, all thanks to the participation of loyal patients and generous South Carolina residents.
“This year, we’re proud to expand our focus to North Myrtle Beach and Little River,” Dr. Sattele said. “The local Marine Corps Reserve and Toys for Tots volunteers do incredible work, and we’re honored to play a small role in helping them bring joy to children across Horry County.”
Dr. Sattele also noted that his practice’s mission of health and well-being aligns closely with the goals of the Toys for Tots program. “We help people feel better physically and emotionally through healthy living,” he said. “That same sense of care and compassion extends beyond our clinic walls. Whether it’s helping someone lose weight or giving a child a reason to smile, it all comes down to improving quality of life.”
The team at Rapid Weight Loss Centers invites the community to stop by the clinic, drop off a toy, and learn more about how small acts of generosity can make a big impact. Donations will be accepted through December 19, 2025, after which the toys will be delivered to local Toys for Tots coordinators for distribution to families before Christmas.
“As we celebrate this season of giving, I want to thank everyone who helps make it possible,” said Dr. Sattele. “Every single toy, no matter how small, represents a moment of happiness for a child who truly deserves it. Together, we can make this holiday season brighter for so many families right here in our community.”
