At Gartner, we believe that making a difference makes all the difference, and making that positive impact is essential not just for our company, but for the communities we are part of. As the new school year approaches, we understand how important it is for students to have the supplies they need to succeed.
This year, we teamed up with local organizations in several of our office locations to give back to our communities. Through school supply donation drives and volunteering opportunities, we're working to ensure that students start the year with the tools they need. By coming together, we're not just supporting education—we're investing in the future of our communities.
In a truly inspiring show of community spirit, our associates worldwide and interns from various offices came together to donate over 12,000 school supply items. With participation from 10 of our offices, we witnessed an incredible outpouring of enthusiasm and commitment to enhancing educational opportunities in our communities. This collective effort underscores our dedication to making a meaningful difference where it matters most.
Michael Falbo and Anne Flounders shared their insights on our School Supplies Donation Drives and their impact on local communities.
Michael: The back-to-school drive highlighted the incredible generosity of my coworkers. Donations of all sizes came in from across the company, and everyone was eager to help sort supplies into backpacks for students in need.
Anne: I'm grateful that Gartner addresses student needs in our communities, especially in Stamford, where there's significant demand. As a Stamford Public Schools parent, I've seen firsthand how school communities rally to support students. Joining Gartner and witnessing its partnership with the Stamford Public Education Foundation made me feel part of a larger effort to ensure every student has the resources to succeed.
