As part of its 2025 Impact Fund, Jewelers Mutual® Group—the only insurer with over a century of expertise dedicated to jewelry and jewelry businesses—provided support to school districts near four of its office locations this August in collaboration with Kids In Need Foundation and Neenah-Menasha Emergency Society. More than 4,000 backpacks and supplies were distributed to select schools in Wisconsin’s Fox Valley area, Dallas, Miami, and Raleigh, North Carolina.
"We recognize that back-to-school season can pose challenges for some families, particularly with regard to purchasing necessary supplies," said Scott Murphy, Chief Executive Officer at Jewelers Mutual. "Our goal is to help reduce this burden within our communities, and we were privileged to collaborate with the Neenah-Menasha Emergency Society and Kids In Need Foundation to support this important initiative."
Throughout the month, Jewelers Mutual employees delivered the backpacks and supply kits to selected schools in coordination with each school’s back-to-school activities.
"Access to the opportunities and resources necessary for a quality education is essential,” said Corey Gordon, CEO of Kids In Need Foundation. “We are proud to partner with Jewelers Mutual to support teachers and students in underserved schools across the country."
“We are incredibly grateful for Jewelers Mutual’s support in helping local students start the school year with confidence,” said Kris Rankin from the Neenah-Menasha Emergency Society. “Their generosity ensures that children in our community has the essential school supplies they need to succeed and feel prepared from day one.”
