The 2nd Annual 'Believe in Green' Expo was held this past Saturday at the Clarendon Hills Middle School. This was a huge success for Schools Count Corp as well as numerous other businesses, non-profits, area schools, and recycling centers.
Talk about well put together expo!! Wow!! People could drop off obsolete electronics as well as used batteries. At least six other vendors, including SCC, accepted product donations. A science fair was held during the day and demonstrations were aplenty. It truly was an environmentally friendly expo. There were treats, raffles, prizes and more. Above all, one walked away knowing that there are plenty of people out there trying to keep our planet green.
We got the word out about our mission to dozens of prospective donors. Some teachers showed an interest in collecting music instruments while others simply wanted information about how we went about serving schools. We even ended up collecting six boxes of binders, crayons, notebooks and other classroom materials!!
From my vantage point, the day was a huge success. Plenty of people support our work and are looking forward to helping as we get ready to work with the Chicago Public Schools this fall.
It was a great day!
