Have you heard about Ava?

Ava Burke, 14, from Brewer, Maine, has been supporting Penquis’ We’ve Got Your Back program since she was just 6 years old. Instead of birthday gifts, she asked friends to donate backpacks—and she’s kept it going ever since. Her efforts have helped hundreds of kids start the school year with confidence. This year, her goal is 1,000 backpacks! Watch her story at https://youtu.be/cdB2HWQEksQ. To have your donation count toward Ava’s goal, check the box below.

I would like my donation to count toward Ava's goal of 1,000 backpacks.
