Roger B. Kennedy Construction Collected and Donated $8,525 in Cash Contributions for the Seminole County, Florida 2017 "Tools 4 Seminole Schools" Supply Drive
Orlando, Florida Construction Management Firm Participates in Annual Seminole County Public School Fundraiser
Orlando, FL, August 23, 2017 --(PR.com)-- On August 15, Altamonte Springs-based Roger B. Kennedy Construction donated $8,525 in collected cash contributions plus 10 full boxes and six full backpacks of school supplies for the 2017 “Tools 4 Seminole Schools” supply drive. The annual drive benefits A Gift For Teaching - Seminole, a program of The Foundation for Seminole County Public Schools. The Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that raises funds to further enhance the superior performance of students and teachers in Seminole County Public Schools.
Sheri Ebersbach, Executive Assistant at Roger B. Kennedy Construction, said, “A Gift For Teaching is a critical school supply drive benefiting the students and teachers of Seminole County. Plus, for every dollar raised, A Gift For Teaching can purchase ten dollars of supplies. Organizing a drive is easy, it’s fun, and it’s a great way to support the students and teachers of Seminole County!”
“In keeping with the Foundation’s mission,” stated Roger B. Kennedy, Jr., President, “we are helping to put school supplies in the hands of students who need them. Accordingly, I wish to thank our many valued clients, subcontractors, vendors and employees who responded so generously to this year’s drive.”
In appreciation of the company’s efforts, Becky Miller, Store Facilitator for A Gift For Teaching - Seminole, stated, “Our special thanks go out to Roger B. Kennedy Construction for their outpouring of support for our annual Tools 4 Seminole Schools supply drive!”
According to the Foundation’s website, more than 49 percent of students in Seminole County ‒ nearly 30,000 ‒ participate in the free and reduced meals program. Of this number, more than 1,500 are homeless. Many parents and guardians struggle to make ends meet, and that often means sending children to school without the supplies they need. A Gift For Teaching - Seminole provides free school and classroom supplies to every Seminole County public school through the Free Store for teachers. Since opening in 2010, the store has hosted more than 14,000 shopping visits and distributed more than $8 million in supplies to Seminole County’s students and teachers.
