$35 Can Outfit A Child In Need Going Back-To-School
For the eleventh year, the Children's Service Council of Broward County (CSC), along with many other community partners, will be a leading supporter of the "Back to School Extravaganza", an effort to bring backpacks, supplies, shoes, and uniforms to thousands of economically disadvantaged students.
"Every year, thousands of students go back to school without the supplies and adequate clothes and shoes they need," says Sandra Bernard-Bastien, Chief Communications Officer of the CSC.
"The Back to School Extravaganza helps ensure these students have what they need to feel good about themselves and succeed."
Because of COVID restrictions, for the second year, the distribution of supplies will be undertaken by dozens of agencies that work directly with families benefiting from this campaign.
The program is supported by community partners, corporate sponsors, and individual donors. A donation of $35 will cover the cost of outfitting one child with a new backpack, shoes, school supplies, and a uniform.
If you are interested in making an online donation to the "Back to School Extravaganza," visit cscbroward.org/BTSE. Alternatively, donors can send a check, with the event name in the memo line, made out to Community Foundation of Broward. Mailing Address: Children's Services Council, 6600 W. Commercial Blvd., Lauderhill, FL 33319.
Let's help Broward students start off the 2021-22 school year right!
