This summer, iTHINK Financial’s Community Foundation hosted the 4th Annual School Ready Day events to help local Florida and Georgia kids in need.

The iTHINK Community Foundation believes that children are our future and that investing in their success now is important. Members of the community and iTHINK Foundation employees were invited to donate funds to help local kindergarteners start the school year better prepared.

Over 700 children in need throughout Florida and Georgia were provided with a backpack and school supplies to be ready to start kindergarten in the 2020-2021 school year.

School Ready Days took place at the following Florida and Georgia locations:

• Easter Seals, Roswell, GA
• Cobb County Head Start, Marietta, GA
• Pickens County Head Start, Jasper, GA
• Clayton Headstart, Forest Park, GA
• West Gate Elementary, West Palm Beach, FL
• West Riviera Head Start, Riviera Beach, FL
• Poinciana Elementary, Boynton Beach, FL
• Village Academy, Delray Beach, FL
• Gertrude Walden, Stuart, FL
• Pelican Island, Sebastian, FL

The iTHINK Community Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization registered in the state of Florida and its mission is to improve the lives of children and families in the communities we serve.

Head Start is a Federal program that promotes the school readiness of children from birth to age five from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional development. Head Start programs provide a learning environment that supports children's growth in many areas such as language, literacy, and social and emotional development. Head Start emphasizes the role of parents as their child's first and most important teacher. These programs help build relationships with families that support family well-being and many other important areas.

Stephen Johnson, Director of the iTHINK Community Foundation at iTHINK Financial stated, “Seeing the smiles on the faces of local, deserving children was priceless. Knowing that so many children in the communities we serve in were helped makes it all worth it. Improving the lives of families is what we strive for as children are our most important assets. A big thank you to our members, sponsors, and employees for making these donations and events possible.”
