Back To School

Gear Up for Success: The 2025 Back to School Supply Drive

2025 School Supply Drive Results

This year, our community set out to serve 500 youth across Dane County. In just three weeks, the response was overwhelming. On Thursday, August 21, families walked into our Clubs and left with everything their children needed to begin the school year ready to succeed.

BECAUSE OF YOU

We didn’t just meet the goal, we surpassed it.

24 partners stepped up to lead and invest
77 volunteers gave their time and energy
797 backpacks were collected
$8,730.96 was raised
14,452 supplies were donated and sorted
238 families were supported
600 kids and counting started the year prepared and confident

These aren’t just statistics. They represent a child zipping up a new backpack, a parent feeling relief, and a teen walking into school with confidence. Every number reflects a story of possibility.

OUR THANKS

To our partners: thank you for mobilizing your teams and committing to kids you may never meet.
