2 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Tiny Hands Foundation Announces the 2016 Back-to-School Backpack Brigade. Aims to Provide 1,500 Backpacks filled with School Supplies for Children in Need. Sarasota, FL. The Tiny Hands Foundation has announced the 3 rd Annual Back-to-School Backpack Brigade. The Tiny Hands Foundation is a non-profit foundation benefiting underprivileged children and families in Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto Counties Saturday August 6th 2016 at 10am: the Back-to-School Backpack Brigade will attempt to provide 1,500 community children in need with new backpacks filled with school supplies to begin their school year. The event will be held at the Boys & Girls Club of Sarasota, 3100 Fruitville Rd, Sarasota, FL Volunteers of all ages are invited to attend. One in five children in our community is growing up beneath the poverty level. Families shouldn t have to struggle financially so that their children can be prepared to participate in their education. Children should not have to go without the supplies they need to succeed in school. Many of the families we re helping are single parent families with multiple children: back-to-school expenses can be overwhelming for a family that is struggling to make ends meet. If by providing a new backpack and school supplies, we can make a difference in the life of one child to help inspire a better future for him or her, it will make this worthwhile, says Khleif.
