We had the opportunity to talk with Kauffman Lynn Construction, one of our Champions of Education, and discover why they are dedicated to advancing public education in Palm Beach County.

As we begin the start of another school year, let’s take a moment to recognize the incredible work being done by Wycliffe Charities Foundation, Proctor Construction, and Pratt & Whitney. These organizations are investing in the future of our youth by providing much-needed backpacks for students who may not have the resources to purchase them themselves. This may seem like a small gesture, but it can make all the difference in helping our young people feel prepared, confident, and excited to learn. Thank you to these amazing organizations for your commitment to our communities and our youth. Let’s all work together to support our young people as they pursue their dreams and build their futures.

We believe that every student deserves to start the school year off on the right foot. That’s why we’re proud to partner with NCCI, Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith, Sympatico Real Estate and Gunster to support students as they pursue their dreams and build their futures. By providing backpacks and school supplies, we’re empowering these young minds to reach their full potential. Join us in this mission to create opportunities and support our communities. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these students.

Our team has been hard at work delivering backpacks filled with hope to 20,000 students in The School District of Palm Beach County. But we couldn’t have done it without the support of Carrier, Coca-Cola Beverages Florida, CORE Construction, and Seacoast Bank. It’s heartwarming to see how much can be accomplished when we all come together for a good cause. Let’s keep spreading the love and positivity, one backpack at a time!

The Education Foundation team is on the move with some amazing sponsors, Wharton Smith, Sympatico Real Estate, Comcast, B&I Construction, and the Jezerinac Group. Together, we’re delivering backpacks to 5 schools. We believe in empowering our future generations with the tools they need to succeed. Let’s make sure they’re off to the right start this year!

Thanks to the incredible support of the Palm Beach County Sherriff’s Office, the students from four Glades Elementary Schools will start the school year off on the right foot with backpacks filled to the brim with supplies. This generous contribution will provide much-needed resources to these students and their families, setting them up for success. It’s moments like these that truly showcase the power of community and the positive impact we can have when we come together to support those in need. We applaud the Palm Beach County Sherriff’s Office for their commitment to education and the wellbeing of our community’s children.
