Let’s Run It Back, Columbus!
We’ve teamed up with the Columbus Crew to collect donations and provide 28 classrooms with backpacks and school supplies! Help us hit our goal, Columbus, donate now and join us in celebration, Saturday, October 21st for EASE Title Night and Columbus Crew Fan Appreciation Night, the last regular season Crew match of the year!
To succeed in school, kids need the right tools. Many students in Franklin and Licking Counties don’t have access to the essential school supplies they need to be successful, and equipping students with these supplies is one of the most important deliveries we can make! For the third time, EASE is proud to partner with NBC4 for their annual Stuff the Backpack campaign.
Whether you #GIVEwithEASE through in-kind or monetary donations, all collaborative efforts make a difference. Together, we can make it EASE-ier for kids in our community to succeed in school this fall!
Every $10 donation provides one BACKPACK for student use, STUFFED with essential supplies.
For $270, you can support an entire classroom with stuffed backpacks.
