Invested Their Time

4KIDS Back to School Drive Partners

Heartfelt thanks to Hayes Locums, Broten Garage Door Sales, Banyan Air Service, Sunny and Breezy Realty LLC, Miller Construction Company, Steinger, Greene & Feiner, Franklin Street, Target Sawgrass Mills, Bass Underwriters, and Vision Solar for contributing backpacks and school supplies for 4KIDS Back to School Drive, presented by Office Depot. Additionally, we appreciate the businesses that donated diaper bags for our families with babies and toddlers as well, and the 4KIDS Business Partners who donated financially: Precision Metal Industries, Law Offices of Sasha Katz, and Centennial Bank.

Each business that participated in the generosity allowed their employees to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Every backpack they filled up with school supplies saved a 4KIDS Family at least $50, and even more for families with multiple foster and adoptive children. It' s always the highlight of the summer to see our kids get to pick out their favorite backpack and get set up for academic success.

Stephanie LaMay Springer, Vice President of Broten Garage Door Sales, had their company participate in the drive for the fourth year in a row. On top of her support for the 4KIDS mission and vision, she also loves that Broten ' s office is in close proximity to 4KIDS Headquarters. "We are able to take our employees on tours of the 4KIDS office so that they can see first hand what we are donating to, which sometimes inspired them to get involved individually as well, " shared Stephanie.
