AAP BOOTH NO. 1001 ‘Back to School Program’ boosts kids’ confidence and motivation to succeed Henry Schein staff, suppliers, local businesses help nearly 4,000 children with school clothes and supplies For the 16th year, Henry Schein Inc. has helped children head back to school with brand new clothes and essential school supplies donated by the company’s Team Schein members, supplier partners and local businesses. Nearly 4,000 children in Henry Schein communities across North America were involved this year in “Back to School” events during August. The largest of the events was Aug. 29 at the company’s worldwide headquarters in Melville, N.Y., where more than 600 children, identified by local social ser- vice organizations, attended the “Back to School” event. Along with dinner, games, balloon animals, face painting and music, the children received new outfits person- ally selected and paid for by Team Schein members, and backpacks filled with school supplies, books and hygiene prod- ucts, generously donated by the company, supplier partners, and local Long Island businesses, as well as a grant from www. firstbook.org and donation from Simon & Schuster Inc. “Heading back to school should be an exciting time of year for all children,” said Gerry Benjamin, executive vice president and chief administrative officer for Henry Schein. “Equipping students with terrific clothes for the first day back in the class- room, and essential school supplies, helps to boost their confidence and motivation to start the school year ready for success. Thanks to the overwhelming support of our Team Schein members, supplier partners and local businesses, the Henry Schein ‘Back to School’ program contin- ues to grow each year.” Henry Schein’s “Back to School” pro- gram initially supported 150 children from Long Island. Since its inception, the program has sponsored nearly 22,000 children in North America. “Back to School” is a flagship initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the company’s global social responsibility program, and is supported by the Henry Schein Cares Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that works to foster, support, and promote dental, medical and animal health by helping to increase ac- cess to care for communities around the world. To help identify children to participate in the 2013 “Back to School” event at Hen- ry Schein’s headquarters, the company partnered with Family and Children’s Association, MPowering Kids, The McCoy Center, Family Service League, Depart- ment of Social Services, Hispanic Coun- seling Center, Madonna Heights, Bethany House, Habitat for Humanity, YES Com- munity Counseling Center and The Ray- mar Children’s Fund. “Seeing the smiles on the faces of the children who eagerly rip open their boxes filled with new clothes for their first day of school and brand new backpacks filled to the brim with needed supplies is price- less,” said Karen Boorshtein, LCSW, presi- dent and CEO, Family Service League. “Working with Henry Schein on the ‘Back to School’ program is an opportunity for us to help lift the financial burden from children and their families who have so many economic challenges to juggle with limited resources. We’re proud to be part of this program that helps give peace of mind to families as they prepare for this important time of year.” (Source: Henry Schein Inc.
