BRADENTON, FL- Professionals from Mauldin & Jenkins, a leading assurance, tax and advisory firm, participated in the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance’s (LWRBA) School Supply & Backpack Drive to help ensure local students are prepared for the 2025 school year.
Organized by the LWRBA, the annual initiative gathers essential school supplies for elementary, middle, and high school students in the Manatee County School District. The Bradenton team contributed fully stocked backpacks and provided additional supplies for the initiative. The LWRBA surpassed its goal of 50 stocked backpacks, successfully collecting 80 in total for students in need.
Partner Dianne Kopczynski stated, ”Participating in the backpack drive is one of my favorite philanthropic missions as we get to help those children less fortunate receive the supplies they need. Being prepared and having the essentials they need are key in ensuring the kids are prepared to learn, stay engaged in school, and can have an overall significant impact on their academic success.”
The Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance serves as a vital hub for companies and their employees to engage with the community and foster professional and personal development through networking. For more information about the LWRBA, click HERE.
