For every package of EXPO markers sold in the U.S. this November and December, EXPO will donate one marker to the Kids In Need Foundation up to a maximum of 100,000 EXPO markers.

The Kids In Need Foundation operates 23 resource centers across the country where teachers from Title 1 schools are encouraged to shop for free supplies.

“We have a long and proud history of supporting teachers,” said Steve Gradman, director of marketing, EXPO Presentation Products. “Many teachers compensate for a lack of supplies by spending more than $500 of their own money to outfit their classrooms each year. By partnering with the Kids In Need Foundation, we’re taking another step toward alleviating this situation, working to fill gaps where we can in funding for school supplies.”

“We are excited that EXPO has partnered with our foundation to support teachers and their students,” said Dave Smith, executive director of the Kids In Need Foundation. “Generous support like this helps teachers focus on what they do best – educating students – without worrying about school supplies.”

EXPO markers can be found wherever office products are sold.
