Our Color a Brighter Future Philanthropy Breakfast attracts more than 500 guests from a wide variety of corporations and organizations. Ranging from CEOs to board members and other business and community leaders, this inspirational program engages our community to learn more about our mission and invest in the future of students by illustrating how free school supplies improve educational outcomes for students and lift up our hardworking educators.

Classroom Central’s Backpacks & Basics provides a backpack full of school supplies to every student in select high-need schools. With your help, every student can start the school year with the tools they need to succeed. Sponsors provide volunteers who enjoy a day of team building at our Backpack Build event.

Want to be a sponsor and participate? Email Beth Cupp or call (704) 377-1740, ext. 4060 for more information.

Classroom Central relies on the support and dedication of the local community for the success of programs that serve teachers and students in more than 200 schools in our region. Because we do not receive any government funding, Classroom Central relies on small businesses, large businesses, and corporate sponsorships to support our programs and initiatives.
