Welcome to Collegiate Bridge's Back-to-School Fundraising Campaign for Johnnie M. Parris Colonial Drive Elementary School

Collegiate Bridge is a non-profit committed to equal educational opportunity. We firmly believe that every child deserves an equal chance at success, regardless of their background or circumstances. We are sponsoring this back-to-school fundraiser to help provide free essential school supplies and uniforms for students at Johnnie M. Parris Colonial Drive Elementary school.

Back-to-School Fundraising Campaign for School Supplies

What if you couldn't give your child or children the supplies they need to be successful this school year?

What if the financial burden of pencils, paper, and other essentials was just to great to handle?

This is the situation that many kids and their families find themselves.

There will be many kids this year heading off to class with few or no supplies.

Help us change that!

Your generous gift of only $10 will help equip the students with sturdy backpacks full of needed school supplies for kids who couldn't otherwise afford them.

The supplies include basics like folders, spiral notebooks, filler paper, pencils, crayons, scissors, and the new uniform logo patches.

Did you know that according to recent studies, school supply donations for families in the most need can actually help improve grades, classroom behavior, and self-esteem!
