Burlington Stores, a national discount retailer offering low prices every day on brand name merchandise for the entire family and home, has donated $5,000 through its partnership with the national non-profit organization, AdoptAClassroom.org, in celebration of its new store now open in Joliet at 2850 Plainfield Road.
Funds will be used towards classroom supplies to help ensure students at M.J. Cunningham Elementary School have the learning materials and tools they need to succeed now and in the future. A representative from AdoptAClassroom.org reached out to district and school administrators and helped secure the donation for M.J. Cunningham Elementary School, which will support 34 classrooms with new materials.
"On behalf of Cunningham School, I would like to welcome our new local Burlington store to Joliet, and thank them for their generous donation through their partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org to our school,” said M.J. Cunningham Elementary School Principal Marysol Sandoval. “Our teachers are so excited to purchase the tools they need for their students this year. We are thankful for the support we received from Burlington and AdoptAClassroom.org.”
As part of Burlington’s new holistic community giving approach of adding value to local communities, and in partnership with their national nonprofit partner AdoptAClassroom.org, they hope to help empower those in their local store communities to live a better life and build a better future. Each time Burlington opens a new store, they celebrate by adopting and funding local classrooms in their new store community.
