Making Back to School Season Brighter for Local Families
Posted on September 25, 2024
The back-to-school season is a time of excitement and possibility, but it can also bring stress to families struggling to provide the necessary supplies for their children to succeed. This year, CertaPro Painters of Jacksonville stepped up to make a difference for local families supported by Dreams Come True of Jacksonville.
Thanks to the generosity of customers who chose CertaPro Painters of Jacksonville for their painting needs in July, the team could support Dreams Come True’s back-to-school supply drive. These essential items, often taken for granted, can be a significant burden for families already facing enough challenges in their everyday lives.
“We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and that starts with having the right tools for the school year,” said Brad Davis, owner of CertaPro Painters of Jacksonville. “We’re grateful to our customers who entrusted us with their painting projects in July. Their support directly translated into supplies that will make a real difference for these deserving families.”
The supplies, ranging from notebooks and pens to graph paper and cleaning wipes, were carefully selected to meet the needs of the children supported by Dreams Come True of Jacksonville. This non-profit organization is the First Coast’s only locally-based, dream-granting organization dedicated to using the power of a dream to bring hope and joy to every First Coast child battling a life-threatening illness. Since 1984, Dreams Come True has fulfilled the dreams of more than 4,500 children.
“We’re not just a painting company – we’re a part of this community,” said Brad Davis. “We’re fortunate to be in a position to give back, and we’re committed to continuing to find ways to make a positive impact.”
