Join Jordin Sparks and help a student in need.

Staples has teamed up with Pop Star and American Idol™ Winner Jordin Sparks and DoSomething.org to ask teens to make a difference this summer.

The Do Something 101 campaign encourages teens to collect school supplies and drop them off at their nearest Staples store, from July 6 through September 13, to ensure they get into the hands of deserving students just in time to head back to school. Staples is kick-starting the campaign by donating $50,000 in school supplies to the cause. In addition, Staples customers can also get involved by donating $2 at any Staples store location, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local teens in need. All school supplies and donations will be given locally to educational and not-for-profit organizations that serve disadvantaged youth.

If you are interested in finding out more about the local charity partners, please contact a member of the Staples PR team.
