Support Our Mission: Sponsor Access to Free School Supplies
Why Sponsor the Back to School Extravaganza Movement?
Together, we can eliminate barriers to education. By partnering with us, you help provide school supplies for students who otherwise start the year without the basics. Your support answers urgent school supplies donation requests, strengthens school supply assistance efforts, and ensures children in need receive free backpacks and school supplies—bringing both confidence and opportunity into the classroom.
More Than School Supplies—We’re a Movement Fueled by Donations, Advocacy, and Support for Children in Need
