KIDS IN NEED FOUNDATION IMPACTS EVEN MORE CHILDREN WITH FOUNDATION GRANT

To reinforce our commitment to making a meaningful, positive difference in advancing school and college readiness for all students, the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation awarded $20,000 to our philanthropic partner, the Kids in Need Foundation .

"With the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation's support, in 2016, the Kids in Need Foundation distributed $120 million of school supplies to 4.8 million children," said Dave Smith, Executive Director, Kids in Need Foundation. "Our work together is a natural fit because of our aligned missions. We couldn't be more proud of what we've been able to accomplish due to our partnership."
