Club Monaco (a subsidiary of Polo Ralph Lauren) recently sent a group of eager college student interns to volunteer their time to help out our team in New York City. After getting a thorough overview of DonorsChoose.org and an office tour, the Club Monaco volunteers spent the afternoon assembling close to 100 Thank You Letters and Packages with our Feedback Team, which will ultimately be sent off to the citizen philanthropists who helped support these classroom projects.
The Club Monaco volunteers were so moved by their experience that they sent us this note: “Just wanted to thank you for introducing us to Donor’s Choose today. The second we got into the elevator all the interns told me how happy they were that they signed up to do this and how they truly believe in this cause. It really is a wonderful idea what this organization does. I wish my teacher’s had known about this when I was a kid! “
To thank them for their generosity (and to show that philanthropy is always in vogue), we funded a classroom seeking to make art and fashion out of recycled materials. Check out the project here.
Thank You Club Monaco (& Polo Ralph Lauren) for your enthusiasm and support of our mission.
If your company is interested in volunteering in our NYC office, contact East Team Associate Director, Daphra Holder, at Daphra (at) DonorsChoose (dot) org.
