Best First Day Ever!
Susanne Lindsay recognizes a $1,650 donation from Sutton Group – Select Realty Inc.
London, ON – Heading back to school is exciting for most children, but it can be challenging for those who lack the essentials such as a backpack, notebooks, pens, pencils, etc. The team at Sutton Group – Select Realty Inc. has donated $1,650 to the Best First Day – School Supplies Drive in collaboration with the London English Football Club. Together, their total donation was $2,180. This helped the school district achieve their goal of filling four thousand backpacks for students in need.
Susanne Lindsay, Office Administrator at Sutton – Select Realty, spearheaded this donation drive and is the mother of a member of the London English Football Club. She is grateful that her coworkers have supported many of the Club’s charitable projects over the past decade.
“Sutton Group – Select along with our family of REALTORS® and our mini franchises rose to this latest cause, and we know it has made a difference for families,” says Susanne.
Backpacks full of supplies were given to students of all ages across the entire Thames Valley district, in addition to Indigenous communities, the London District Catholic School Board, and several community agencies.
“With so many new families relocating in the London area, we felt that giving back to the community by helping children have a positive first day back to school was something Sutton Group – Select would like to get behind,” says Susanne. “Starting off the school year with new backpacks and supplies helps in making their first day the BEST DAY EVER!”
The Thames Valley Education Foundation, United Way, and The Salvation Army coordinate this annual community-wide drive. Last year, The Best First Day was able to deliver nearly 3,200 backpacks full of supplies. Due to inflation and rising costs of living, organizers anticipated that a greater number of parents would need assistance this school year.
Sutton is a 100% Canadian-owned and operated company with more than 6,500 REALTORS® in over 200 offices nationwide. To find out more about Sutton, visit www.sutton.com. To learn more about Sutton Spirit, visit www.suttonspirit.com.
