Ticket to Dream Back to School Drive

School Supply Drive

 

Did you know? The average youth in foster care experiences 3 home changes and loses up to 6 months of academic progress with each move.  Helping ensure foster youth have what they need to succeed in school allows them to enter the classroom with confidence knowing they won’t need to borrow items or negatively stand out from their peers. There are many ways you can help whether it’s collecting school supplies by hosting a collection drive, donating online to purchase school supplies, donating school supplies and dropping off at your nearest Mattress Firm, or hosting an online fundraiser. Every pencil and dollar helps foster kids start the school year right. To donate online or learn more visit: tickettodream.org

Buzz Goes PINK for Breast Cancer Awareness

It is October and every year, we GO PINK in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. We have made a lot of progress but still have a long way to go!
