Pittsburgh Moms Blog is thrilled to announce that it donated 98 backpacks filled with school supplies to Pittsburgh Public Schools. The backpacks and supplies, arriving on a pallet weighing over 500 pounds, were received by Pittsburgh Public Schools this week.
In partnership with Sydney Paige Inc., Pittsburgh Moms Blog’s writers and readers participated in the backpack drive throughout the holiday season and winter by making an individual purchase. For each bag that was purchased, one was donated (and filled with school supplies). Sydney Paige Inc.’s Founder and CEO Courtney Brockmeyer calls this giving strategy the company’s “Buy One, Give One” philosophy.
Here’s what was donated for each bag purchased:
Pittsburgh Moms Blog worked directly with Courtney Brockmeyer of Sydney Paige to organize the backpack drive. PMB is so happy to help provide quality backpacks and school supplies to low income youth because getting the tools that students need for school generates REAL RESULTS:
Courtney Brockmeyer is clearly passionate about providing quality products to children in need. Her ‘mantra’ for Sydney Paige is “Giving Back Together” because “alone, I can only do so much, but by partnering with others giving back to their communities, the opportunities are endless.”
Pittsburgh Moms Blog will be working with Sydney Paige throughout the coming summer to sponsor a back-to-school backpack drive and the opportunity to purchase or straight donate remains open. This continued drive will be for the benefit of the children in Pittsburgh Public Schools.

Pittsburgh Moms Blog thanks you, our readers, for helping us to achieve this goal.
