Thank you, Additions Financial, for teaming up with our Core volunteers yesterday to help us prepare for the next school year. Together, we processed and organized shoes, counted and bagged tennis balls, and tagged and folded our recess totes. It was a busy day, and we couldn’t have had more fun working alongside the Additions Financial team. Your generosity and commitment to our community mean so much. Thank you for your philanthropy.

Thanks to Deputy Angela Tanner, this student now has shoes that fit properly. Their previous hand-me-down shoes were much too large, making it difficult to move comfortably and safely. More than just a new pair of shoes, this was the gift of movement; the ability to walk, run, play, and participate with confidence.

Please share with Community Centers and Sports Clubs. We repurpose used tennis balls for the free recess kits we provide to teachers, giving kids more opportunities to play, stay active, and engage during recess. Your donated tennis balls go directly back into supporting local students and schools. Best of all, we'll pick them up, making it easy for your organization to make a positive impact in the community.

Because Giovanni’s time with students at Silver Pines Academy can sometimes be limited to just a few weeks, he is quick to respond when he sees a need. His thoughtfulness and proactive approach make a meaningful difference, and we are grateful for his dedication.
