"Supplied 4 Success" is Gearing Up For Their 1st Annual School Supply Giveaway Columbus, Ohio- Aug 2009
"Supplied 4 Success" is a not-for-profit school supply drive and giveaway created to benefit school-aged children of need that are primarily located in the Franklin County area. Organized and presented by ColumbusUrbanLife.com, Repertoire PR & Marketing Collective, and The Promise Foundation, "Supplied 4 Success" will take 100% of the monetary and supply donations received from local business owners, organizations, and individuals in order to distribute bookbags filled with the basic essentials that the children will need to begin a successful school-year.
The "Supplied 4 Success" school supply giveaway will take place during the weekend of August 22 at a designated location in the community that is easily accessible by COTA, has ample FREE parking, and is also in close walking proximity to communities that are the most in need of assistance. In addition to handing out school supplies, we will have vendors on hand supplying snacks and beverages, a live dj providing age-appropriate music, volunteers to help keep the event organized, and local celebrities, athletes, and community leaders in attendance to shake hands, take photos and speak with the kids to get them motivated for the up-coming school year.
The organizers of "Supplied 4 Success" recognized that there is a great need in the community for the children to have the basic essentials needed to succeed in the classroom starting Day One of the 2009-2010 school year. With the economy still suffering, parents and teachers are stretching their resources to the max just to provide children with the educational and life necessities they need to compete with those students and schools that receive more funding.
We wanted to do our part to make sure that every child*, ( *first come, first served while supplies last ) is equipped with the tools they need to start school with a "come to learn, equipped to succeed" attitude.
