We were honored to participate in the Variety Boys & Girls Club Back-to-School Drive on September 6, 2025. This event is dedicated to equipping local children with essential school supplies and setting them up for a successful academic year.
The day was filled with community spirit, smiles, and support as families picked up backpacks and supplies while connecting with local organizations. We were proud to share resources about cancer education, early detection, and support services with parents and caregivers, continuing our mission of promoting wellness throughout Queens.
Our team was joined by dedicated community partners and leaders who share our commitment to empowering families and strengthening neighborhoods.
A Community Success
The Back-to-School Drive was a wonderful example of what can be accomplished when organizations and leaders come together for a common goal. By providing children with the tools they need to thrive, we also strengthen the fabric of our community and create opportunities for brighter futures.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Variety Boys & Girls Club, our partners, and all the families who joined us. Together, we continue to foster a healthier, more empowered Queens!
