A special shoutout to the T22 McDuffie Foundation for their incredible support, which enabled us to purchase 15 graphing calculators and headphones for Boston youth! 🙌

We also extend our gratitude to Target (Porter Square) for their generous donation of backpacks and for connecting us with amazing Target volunteers who made the event even more special 🎒

This evening was not only about giving back but also about building relationships within Boston’s nonprofit community. We’re grateful for the chance to come together, share our commitment to service, and kick off the school year on a positive note!
