Global Backpack Drive for Children in Need
In partnership with Break a Difference, Gary Bushrod, along with his fellow Risk & Compliance colleagues at JPMorgan Chase & Co., packed over 6,000 backpacks for children in need all over the world. This effort involved JPMC employees in New York, Wilmington, Columbus, Hong Kong and London.
All 6,000+ backpacks were stuffed with notebooks, folders, utensils, and snacks. To top it off, there were handwritten notes of encouragement included in the package. The backpacks were all donated to organizations present in each of the local communities around the world. New York City's bags were all donated to the Food Bank for New York City.
