Help manufacture kindness through a giveback opportunity at the Advanced Textiles Expo being held in Orlando Florida! Attendees and exhibitors are encouraged to participate by donating money to the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida (BGCCF). Our goal is to raise $15,000 for this organization and the proceeds will go to the purchase of backpacks and school supplies to support children in need.

The mission of the Boys & Girls Club is to inspire all young people to realize and reach their full potential. As students return to school, many in Central Florida are still seeking support for school supplies and essential learning tools. BGCCF provides support to its members by providing year-round services and tools for success inside and outside of school.

You're not just giving money, you're fulfilling a need.

Together, we can help kids in need of backpacks throughout the school year. Supporters are encouraged to contribute at the suggested level amounts or to donate any amount of your choice. All proceeds received by Oct. 1, will go to the purchase of backpacks and school supplies that will be presented to the BGCCF at the Advanced Textiles Expo on Friday, Nov. 1.

Proceeds received after Oct. 1 will go directly to BGCCF for future needs.

SPREAD THE WORD.📣

Post a picture of your company or team on ATA’s Linked In page and include hashtags #GiveBackpacks #GiveBigLikeKevin

#GiveBigLikeKevin honors Kevin Yonce, who we lost this past year. Kevin served as a past ATA Chairman and was a big proponent of giving back and helping his community. Let’s all come together and give big!

We hope this tag will help to honor Kevin and help serve as a reminder of the importance of giving back.

HELP ONSITE! 🙌
