Backpacks for Education
Donation protected
Here at Lighthouse Financial Network, we have been looking to give back to the local community in as many ways as we can. In order to make that goal a reality, we have decided to team up with the Make it Count Foundation, a local charitable organization that shares many of our philanthropic goals.
Make it Count was founded in 2009 by Jon Reese, a Long Island native. Since then Jon has been putting in countless hours to help better the lives of those less fortunate than most. The foundation focuses on providing resources for Optimal Housing, Health, and Education. For this project we will be concentrating on the education aspect of the charity by raising money for Make it Count's Backpacks for Education program. The mission of the program is as follows:
BACKPACKS FOR EDUCATION
For many children, the start of a new year is filled with anxiety and academic challenges. Many Long Island children return to school unprepared, lacking the basic supplies they need to succeed. Make It Count Foundation’s Backpacks for Education Program provides children returning to school with the basic supplies to thrive academically. In our concerted effort to improve the scholastic achievement of children throughout our communities, we reach out to our supporters for assistance in supplying needy children with new backpacks filled with the tools necessary to begin the school year on positive footing, including but not limited to notebooks, folders, and writing utensils. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Please consider donating to this great cause so we can positively impact the lives of as many youths as possible. All donations will go directly to the cause, and any amount can make a difference. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
