More than 11 million kids in the US live below the poverty line and don't have the basic supplies that they need to succeed. So for Back-to-School 2008, DoSomething.org and Staples decided to do something about it! Led by teens nationwide, Do Something 101 is a campaign to collect new school supplies for kids in need.

All summer long, teens ran school supply drives and Staples customers got involved by donating $2 to the campaign. 100% of the proceeds and all of the school supplies benefited local teens. For updates on our next Do Something 101 campaign, make sure to sign up for our e-blast below!
