Circle of Support 2024 School Supplies Fundraiser

 

Join us in making a tangible difference in the lives of underserved students by contributing to Circle of Support’s 2024 School Supplies Fundraiser. On August 24th, 2024, Circles of Support, in collaboration with Exodus Transitional Community, will host a Back to School Giveaway, providing essential tools to hundreds of students in underserved communities.

The Mission

Since 2009, Circle of Support has been dedicated to supporting education by organizing annual fundraisers. Starting from our humble beginnings at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where we raised over $8,000, we have expanded our efforts to reach more students each year. This year, our goal is to raise $27,000 to distribute 300 backpacks filled with school supplies, along with event decorations, games, and refreshments.

For more details, you can read the original fundraising letter outlining the campaign and its impact.

Event Details

Date: August 24th, 2024

The event will feature special performances and activities, making it a day of fun and excitement for the whole community. Supplies will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, so we ask that you support our effort by having the child present to receive supplies and enjoy the day with us.
