We’ve Reached 75% of Our Goal – 75,000 Pencils Collected

We’re celebrating a major milestone in the Year of the Pencil campaign.

Thanks to generous supporters, we have reached 75% of our goal — more than 75,000 pencils collected and sent to children in need.

Every pencil represents access.
Access to learning.
Access to participation.
Access to opportunity.

The Goal: 100,000 Pencils

We’re not done yet.

Our goal is 100,000 pencils, and we are close. The final stretch matters. The last 25% will determine how many additional classrooms we can equip.

This campaign is simple but powerful. A pencil is often the first tool a child needs to engage fully in school.
