Kids Backing Kids’ 5th Annual Back-to-School Drive

Kids Backing Kids is once again partnering with schools, housing programs, and community-based programs for its 5th Annual Back-to-School Drive.

Over the past four years, the nonprofit led by sisters Grace, Olivia, and Simone Rodrigue has delivered with the support of donors and volunteers more than 1,000 backpacks filled with supplies to students and families in need.

You can help this year by shopping for school supplies (by Aug. 19) using a list provided by Kids Backing Kids or by making a donation. The cost per assembled backpack amounts to roughly $75-$100.

PlayRox Flag Football returning to Fenway Park

Wellesley non-profit Community Investors, associated with the Terriers Sports program and music-powered PlayRox sports programs, is bringing its flag football spectacular back to Fenway Park on Saturday, Nov. 23. Tickets are now on sale.

Hundreds of players in grades K-12-plus, as well as program alums and partners, will take part in the PlayRox Flag Football event.

Student DJs and musicians will be pumping out jams to keep everyone revved up.

Community Investors’ programs support physical, social, and emotional wellness. Their after-school and other offerings emphasize students playing and having fun, but also taking on coaching and leadership roles, and interacting with kids across communities.

Volunteers are needed for pre-event, event, and after-party duties (email to info@CommunityInvestors.net). Learn about becoming a sponsor.
