John Hyland, CFP® Honored with the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation's Second Executive Tribute for Outstanding Financial Services Leadership and Commitment to Giving Back
Honor Presented at the 19th Annual Invest in Others Awards Galain Boston, Raising $1 Million for Blood Cancer United and Invest in Others
BOSTON, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Invest in Others Charitable Foundation ("Invest in Others"), a nonprofit dedicated to amplifying, celebrating, and inspiring the charitable work of the financial services community, recently selected John Hyland, Co-Founder and Advisory Board Member of Private Advisor Group, to receive its second Executive Tribute. The honor is in recognition of his exceptional financial services leadership and ongoing commitment to raising funds and awareness for Blood Cancer United, formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The Executive Tribute was presented to Mr. Hyland during the 19th Invest in Others Awards Gala on September 25, 2025, at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport. The annual gala honors financial advisors who go above and beyond to support nonprofits in their communities. Charities backed by Award finalists and category winners receive Invest in Others grants to maximize their impact.
In Mr. Hyland's honor, Invest in Others launched an Executive Tribute fundraiser leading up to the Awards Gala and generated generous giving though the Gala's live auction and paddle raise. All gifts made before and during the event have been matched dollar for dollar up to $250,000, with a total of $1,000,000 in giving recorded, exceeding the campaign's $500,000 goal. Proceeds will be split evenly between Invest in Others and Blood Cancer United.
With a focus on clients' best interests, Mr. Hyland positioned Private Advisor Group as an early leader in advisory-driven financial services, growing the firm from a handful of advisors into one of the nation's top RIAs. Guided by a mission to form meaningful relationships with financial advisors, inspire entrepreneurs to build successful independent businesses, and positively impact the lives of everyday investors, Mr. Hyland has led the firm on a journey defined by relationships, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to integrity.
Mr. Hyland, an immediate past Chair of the Board of Directors of Invest in Others, also tirelessly supports Blood Cancer United, a deeply personal cause, given his journey against acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition to serving on the Board of Trustees of Blood Cancer United, he is also a past Board Chair of the organization's New Jersey Region. Mr. Hyland's dedication to giving back was imparted to him by his parents and grandparents, who all served a turn as mayor of Morristown, NJ, where Private Advisor Group is based.
"John's dedication to supporting blood cancer patients and survivors through Blood Cancer United, along with his advocacy for Invest in Others and our mission to amplify, celebrate, and inspire the charitable work of financial advisors nationwide, makes him a natural choice for our Executive Tribute," said R. Barkley Payne, President & CEO of the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation. "The spirit of community service drives John and his colleagues at Private Advisor Group to create positive change both within and beyond the industry. He has raised millions for charitable causes, faced cancer with remarkable courage, and served as a rock and mentor to countless advisors across the profession. We are proud to honor him, and the many advisors who, like John, turn personal conviction into lasting impact."
"Invest in Others helps financial advisors extend their impact beyond the office," said John Hyland, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Private Advisor Group, and a member of its Advisory Board. "It is a privilege to work alongside them in my personal mission to improve treatment and support for all cancer patients and their families. My experience has deepened my commitment to raising funds and awareness, and the guidance and support from Invest in Others have been invaluable in this work."
"Whether it's a marathon or an auction, John is always there as an engaged and enthusiastic partner in the battle to end blood cancers," said Jana Boyer, Executive Director of Blood Cancer United, New Jersey region. "We could not be happier for John to receive this Executive Tribute from his peers, and we are grateful to Invest in Others for raising even more much-needed funds for blood cancer patients, treatment, and research."
