“Operation Back to School in Chandler, AZ took over six months to plan and 100’s of dedicated volunteers to provide more than 2,000 kids in need with backpacks, school supplies, socks/underwear, school uniforms, shoes and haircuts. This was the result of a collaborative and coordinated effort by the City of Chandler, Chandler Unified School District, Chandler Faith Based Organizations and Chandler Non Profits.This is why we all do what we do.” — George Macedon, Executive Director, Fans Across America Charitable Foundation
