First introduced in 1998, the Back to School program reflects
Henry Schein’s enduring commitment to communities by empowering
TSMs with volunteer opportunities to support underserved children
in partnership with local not-for-profit social service
organizations. Team Schein Members come together to give back,
packing backpacks filled with school supplies and dental kits that
prepare children with essentials for the upcoming school year.
Since its inception, the program has expanded globally, serving
more than 65,000 children across various sites where Henry Schein
operates.
On August 7, Henry Schein hosted its “Back to School” event at
the Company’s worldwide headquarters in Melville, N.Y.
Approximately 400 pre-identified children and their families
received their packed backpacks along with a gift card to purchase
first day-of-school outfits. The event included a BBQ, crafts,
games, and other activities for all family members to enjoy. To
reinforce the importance of education, the event featured a
S.T.E.M. presentation and a tent with a variety of free books
donated by TSMs and KPMG LLP – a U.S. audit, tax, and advisory firm
– through its Family for Literacy program and its partnership with
the nonprofit social enterprise, First Book. This fun-filled
evening was one of the many “Back to School” events held around the
world this season.
“Team Schein remains dedicated to ensuring children start the
school year with confidence and excitement,” said Stanley M.
Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry
Schein. “By empowering these young minds with essential tools and
resources, we are helping to nurture a brighter future for our
communities. At Henry Schein, we are honored to continue supporting
educational equity and inspiring children to reach their full
potential.”
For the Melville “Back to School” event, Henry Schein partnered
with 10 Long Island-based social service organizations to
pre-identify participating children and their families: Bethany
House; Espoir Youth Program, Inc.; Family and Children’s
Association; Hispanic Counseling Center; Iovino South Shore Family
Center (Family Service League); SCO Madonna Heights; Social Service
Volunteers of Nassau; The Raymar Children’s Association; WellLife
Network; and YES Community Counseling Center.
“We are grateful to Henry Schein for their dedication to the
children and families we serve and for our continued partnership on
the Back to School initiative,” said Suzette Gordon, President and
CEO of SCO Family of Services. “This remarkable act of generosity
prepares students for the school year and empowers children to
achieve academic success. The backpacks represent so much more than
school supplies – they instill hope, pride, and confidence in our
students and their families. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Team
Schein for their continued support of SCO Family of Services.”
