Build-A-Kit Program
Back 2 School ’18 Distribution Summary
Our Build-A-Kit program offers companies a great way to team build with employees while giving back to the community at the same time. The program is extremely flexible. It allows companies the opportunity to choose day, time, location and what organization is to receive the Back 2 School kits. Many of the companies that participated in 2018 added other features to their Build-A-Kit such as inviting their clients to participate, pairing the event with a company meeting, inviting the children of employees to assemble the kits and having the event catered. The versatility of the program is a major reason we’ve seen tremendous growth and success with the program and how it has allowed us to provide over 6,500 underserved children with one of our kits this year alone.
