This month, our Ambler office hosted its 3rd annual back to school drive through Philadelphia-based organization, Cradles to Crayons. Each year, we set out to beat our previous year’s goal for the number of backpacks filled. With the help of our office neighbors at Hatch LTK, and the generosity of our staff, we were able to collect 90 full backpacks, plus an abundance of individual supplies.
“We really look forward to hosting this event towards the end of the summer each year. As a company, we feel strongly that it’s important to support causes like this that help to provide children with the essentials they need for educational and personal development. All children deserve a fair chance to succeed from an early age. We're grateful for organizations like Cradles to Crayons for the work they do to support the local community." - Marketing Manager, Erika Kucowski.
Many thanks to the Precis and Hatch teams for their contributions to the success of this year's drive!
