Volunteers Help Assemble Our Best Summer Yet!
On April 26, over 100 volunteers met at Think Together’s Home Office in Santa Ana to spend the day assembling curriculum kits to be distributed to school sites to aid with summer programming. The volunteers represented organizations such as TopGolf, National Charity League, Assistance League, Pioneer Circuits, BNY, Deloitte, Taylor Law, Pacific Life and RMH.
This event is the second year in a row that Think Together has moved away from a traditional gala fundraiser. This year’s Kit Build has generated $200,000 for Think Together programs and 1,500 kits that will benefit nearly 28,000 students this summer.
Think Together’s approach combines fun with learning, giving students opportunities to learn new skills and stay sharp on others before school starts again in the fall. One lesson from the curriculum kits students will learn this summer is how to work together to make parade floats that they will present to friends and family during a culminating event.
Starting as early as mid-May, Think Together will partner with school districts to run 4–6-week summer learning programs filled with enriching lessons, field trips and opportunities to keep connected to friends.
Thank you to our volunteers and sponsors for another successful Kit Build!
Keeping Donors Connected to the Mission
We’ve noticed a growing trend among our donors: they want to play a more active role in helping students directly. From intimate corporate office activations to larger-scale events, we’re creating opportunities for them to make a real impact.
Recently, Honda and the Assistance League of Tustin participated in book doctor volunteer events, where volunteers collected, repaired, and sorted books to support literacy across the state. Thanks to their efforts, 4,200 books will be distributed to students over the next few weeks.
Nossaman LLP’s Los Angeles office also participated in mock interviews with students from Perris and Heritage High Schools as part of WREP, offering feedback and tips to prepare students for their future careers.
Looking to join in on helping students? Save the date for our Inland Empire backpack event on July 26! We are seeking partnerships to fill backpacks with the supplies necessary for students to start the school year on the right foot.
