Town of Palm Beach United Way
12th Annual School Supply Drive
The 12th Annual Town of Palm Beach United Way School Supply Drive collected $14,698 and thousands of school supplies to benefit children in need during the 2024-2025 school year. The drive ran July 28 through August 11.
In total, the School Supply Drive received 16,869 individual items, including pencils, pens, crayons, markers, notebooks, erasers, backpacks, folders and binders.
3rd Annual Logo Contest
For the third consecutive year, the School Supply Drive featured a logo contest. Students 18 and under were asked to submit a drawing depicting the Town of Palm Beach United Way’s annual School Supply Drive, including a brief description of what they created and why.
The winning design was created by Harlan Lambert, 10, of Palm Beach. The African-themed design features a giraffe collecting school supplies.
“I drew this drawing because my friend is visiting from Africa, so I drew a giraffe and we both love reading and school, so I combined our likes and loves to make this drawing,” Lambert wrote in her submission letter.
Her design will serve as next year’s logo, and she will also receive a $200 Amazon Gift Card. In total, 7 students participated in the contest. All participants received a $25 Amazon Gift Card.
