Allina Health Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute partners with Cummins to provide free adapted toys for kids

[KSTP TV, December 12, 2025] Allina Health Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute teamed up with Cummins once again to donate more than 700 adapted toys to children throughout the Twin Cities. Cummins engineers unpack the toys, add the adaptations, and then repackage them so they look untouched. Physical and occupational therapists from Courage Kenny distribute the toys to the kids.

Allina Health Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute and Cummins have partnered for more than a decade to deliver free adapted toys to kids in the community. Adaptations to toys can cost as much as an additional $70. KSTP-TV filmed volunteers as they delivered the toys to Courage Kenny.
