Join Us in Making a Difference: Equip Young CF Warriors with Essential School Supplies
At the Garrett Thomas Foundation we believe every child deserves a fair start, especially those battling cystic fibrosis (CF). Education is a powerful tool, and having the right supplies can make all the difference. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our “Backpack Heroes” initiative, dedicated to providing bookbags filled with essential school supplies to children at two remarkable CF clinics: Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, NC, and Prisma Health Children’s Hospital in Greenville, SC.
Why Your Support Matters
Children with cystic fibrosis often face unique challenges, including frequent hospital visits and treatments. These obstacles can make it difficult for them to keep up with their education. By providing them with well-stocked bookbags, we’re not just giving them supplies; we’re giving them hope, encouragement, and the tools they need to succeed academically.
What’s Inside Each Bookbag?
Each backpack we provide is filled with:
Notebooks and folders
Pencils, pens, and erasers
Crayons and markers
Glue sticks and scissors
These supplies are carefully chosen to meet the needs of students from elementary through high school, ensuring they are prepared for a successful school year.
How You Can Help
Your support is crucial to the success of the “Backpack Heroes” initiative. By sponsoring a bookbag, you’re directly impacting a child’s educational journey and helping to ease the burden on families dealing with CF. Here’s how you can get involved:
Sponsor a Bookbag: A donation of $40 can provide one fully-stocked brand new bookbag to a child in need.
Corporate Sponsorship: Businesses can partner with us to sponsor multiple bookbags and receive recognition on our website and social media platforms.
Spread the Word: Share our mission with your friends, family, and community. The more people who know, the greater our impact.
