Donations to the drive were distributed to children and youth who receive services at Town of Palm Beach United Way partner agencies Achievement Centers for Children and Families, Milagro Center, and Take Stock in Children. All three agencies run after-school and out-of-school programs for low-income families.
Cash donation will be distributed to 10 United Way partner agencies. Achievement Centers, Milagro Center, and Take Stock in Children will each receive grants of $2,350. Adopt-A-Family, American Association of Caregiving Youth, Farmworker Coordinating Council, Literacy Coalition, The Lord’s Place, Opportunity Early Childhood Center, and Urban League will each receive a $1,000 grant to be used to purchase school supplies.
4th Annual Logo Contest
Congrats Finley Dailey!
For the fourth consecutive year, the School Supply Drive featured a logo contest. Students 18 and under were asked to submit a drawing depicting the Town of Palm Beach United Way’s annual School Supply Drive, including a brief description of what they created and why.
The winning design was created by Finley Dailey, 13, of Jupiter. Her artwork featured an octopus holding school supplies.
“I wanted to symbolize all the beautiful beaches and sea life that Palm Beach County holds,” she wrote in her submission. “I chose the octopus because it had enough arms to display all the school supplies I wanted to showcase.”
Finley’s design will serve as next year’s logo, and she will also receive a $200 Amazon Gift Card. In total, 24 students participated in the contest. All participants received a $10 Amazon Gift Card.
