Back 2 School America (B2SA) launched in 2007 to address the inequities in educational opportunities for children first in Illinois, and now across the country. Its mission is to provide school supplies and other tools throughout the year to ensure the educational success of children in need.

In an effort to level the playing field and reduce the financial burden on families and teachers, the B2SA program has supplied more than 400,000 children with their own school supply kits, distributing over 12 million supplies to those who need them most.
