As part of the Broward Education Foundation’s annual Back to School Supply Drive, which last year generated over $2 million in supplies for more than 130,000 students, Fleet Advantage and its charitable arm, the Kids Around the Corner (KATC) Foundation, successfully distributed 1,068 backpacks filled with essential supplies to students in Title I elementary schools. Backpacks were handed out personally by Fleet Advantage employees during school meet and greet events at the following locations on Friday, Aug. 8:
- Sunshine Elementary – 7737 Lasalle Blvd, Miramar, FL 33023
- North Fork Elementary – 101 NW 15th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311
- Endeavour Primary Learning Center – 701 NW 56th Ave, Lauderhill, FL 33313
“Every child deserves a fair chance at a quality education,” James A. Knapp, president and CEO of Broward Education Foundation, said. “By providing students with the tools they need, we’re helping build their confidence and self-esteem — both of which are essential for effective learning. We are thankful to partners like Fleet Advantage for their commitment to uplifting Broward County’s Title I students.”
“Our Kids Around the Corner Foundation is committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work,” Elizabeth Gomez, director of marketing and community outreach for Fleet Advantage, said. “We are honored to support the incredible efforts of the Broward Education Foundation and excited to help these students begin the new school year with the tools they need to succeed.”
