Have Cans? Can Skate! Teaching Youth Philanthropy by Giving to Receive.
Jade Harrell with Korey Johnson, Founder, Korey Johnson Foundation.
The 6th annual Can Skate is a community event that aims to teach students the importance of collaboration, community exchange and involvement. It’s a community back to school skating party targeted at underserved elementary school students. Organizers request that students bring 5 non- perishable items for a non-profit organization (All items collected will be donated to "Feed My Peeps") in exchange for a skating party an a possibility to win school supplies.
The goal is to teach compassion and philanthropy to youth by highlighting the importance of both giving and receiving.
Students must be between the ages of 5-13 to receive a back pack with school supplies in it .
More backpacks and school supplies are needed to reach the goal of 1000 backpacks for students. For donations and more information contact Korey at 314-732-7771 or Email johnsonkorey@rocketmail.com
