Aug 23 Promises2Kids Backpack and Flash Drive Collection

KyXy and Bridgepoint Education have partnered up with Promises2Kids to hold the 8th annual Backpack & Flash Drive to benefit thousands of abused and at-risk children returning to school this fall. We will be collecting school supplies for children and youth in foster care throughout San Diego county on August 23rd at the Walmart in Kearny Mesa, located at 4840 Shawline St. from 9am-6pm. The donations of backpacks and flash drives are essential in providing each child with a system to keep all of their schoolwork and computer assignments organized. On average, a foster child will live in at least seven different homes before they turn 18 years old, and these donated items will be key in helping them stay on top of their work throughout the 2010-2011 school year. Promises2Kids is brought to you by Bridgepoint Education… committed to San Diego. For more details, and how to set up a mini collection drive, visit Promises2Kids.org.
