📣 Exciting News! We're thrilled to share that our annual Backpack-A-Thon has been featured in multiple news publications. Check out one of our highlights below!
“When children have essential school supplies and necessities like clothing and shoes, they can go back to school with self-confidence, excitement, and dignity. If kids’ basic needs aren’t met, the long-term effects can be devastating.” -Lynn Margherio, Cradles to Crayons Founder and CEO 👕👖👟 Three of the top 10 reasons kids don't go to school are rooted in Clothing Insecurity—or, simply put, they don't have access to the clothing essentials they need to succeed. 🎒 ✏ 📒 This back-to-school season, alongside thousands of packages of clothing, Cradles to Crayons will also provide 252,000 backpacks filled with supplies so kids can be ready to learn from head to toe. Our annual Ready for Learning initiative focuses on preparing our youngest learners before the very first day. And our signature Backpack-A-Thon® events in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Wilmington, DE, bring more than 2,000 corporate and individual team volunteers together to pack thousands of backpacks in just a few hours! Clothing Insecurity is a national crisis that impacts more than 20 million U.S. children every day. As Lynn points out, "...the long-term effects can be devastating." But the solution can be easy—join Cradles to Crayons and help us #EndClothingInsecurity this back-to-school season and beyond. #ClothingInsecurity #backtoschool #children #poverty #dignity #backpackathon #readyforlearning #cradlestocrayons #clothingaccess #clothingneed #CSR #ESG #corporate #corporateengagement #volutneer https://lnkd.in/ePxXWv7X
