Wireless Vision, a leading wireless retail company, recently donated 500 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to Brilliant Detroit, an organization dedicated to creating supportive communities for children in Detroit. The backpacks were given to children in need to help them succeed in the upcoming school year.
This is the second year Wireless Vision collaborated with Brilliant Detroit for its back-to-school drive. In addition to the donation, Wireless Vision volunteers spent the day at Brilliant Detroit’s Brightmoor location, taking part in their end-of-summer field day. The event brought joy to the children and provided a fulfilling experience for the volunteers.
Kalvin Matti, a Wireless Vision team member, expressed the event’s personal significance, saying, “For me, it hits home because growing up, sometimes I didn’t have the supplies I needed, and these types of programs really help these little children get this education, get the supplies that they need for school, and more importantly, I feel great about it because we get to give back to the community.”
Gianna Marx, representing Wireless Vision, highlighted the alignment between Brilliant Detroit’s mission and the company’s values. “Brilliant Detroit is an amazing organization that truly aligns with our purpose statement of ‘Making People’s Lives Better as we Pursue Growth and Greatness.’ Brilliant is committed to fostering literacy and community involvement across every neighborhood in Detroit, and we are so honored to be a part of it.”
Marlon Franklin, Community Engagement Manager for Brilliant Detroit’s Brightmoor location, spoke about the significance of the day’s activities: “It’s been a full summer of educational and fun activities, but today is just all about the fun. We wanted to make sure that we could give the kids a day to decompress from all the learning they were doing. Our summer camp program is put together to prevent the summer slide with children, but today is all about the kids having fun.”
Wireless Vision’s dedication to community involvement and education continues to grow stronger with each passing year, making a positive impact on the lives of children and families across Detroit.
