Staples ‘Do Something 101 School Supply Drive
Every year Staples and Do Something 101.org get together and create some inspirational magic.
Good samaritans go to any staples store around the country and drop off school supplies to donate to kids who are less fortunate. Products like Calculators, Notebooks, pens, and pencils are some of the supplies that are donated to give children the tools to recieve a great education.
Every year this event chooses a celebrity spokesperson who embodies what it is to give. For 2008 it was American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, and this year it is R&B Singer and Songwriter Ciara who donated her time to give back to the community. Since Ciara is the spokesperson she made it her duty to speak some inspirational words to the youth of tommorow at the event.
There were also a great amount of kids at the event that could have been at home playing video games, or riding their bikes, but they decided to donate their own time by filling book bags with educational goodies.
This years event was held at the Children’s Aid Society Dunlevy Milbank Boys and Girls Club in Harlem New York so it was only right that Harlem Talk Radio make an appearance.
