Staples Launch Event Webcast

June 17, 2014

School might just be letting out this month, but here at ME to WE we’re already gearing up for fall! That’s why we’re so excited to be partnering with Staples and Acco to launch our first line of eco-friendly school supplies with an impact!

For the first time ever, students and parents across Canada have the power to make a difference with their back to school purchases to help thousands of children in around the world receive access to education. Each product purchased gives a life-changing gift to a child or family in a Free The Children community overseas, including school lunches, pencils and access to clean water. Through Track Your Impact, you can enter the code found on your ME to WE product and see where in the world your gift was delivered!

The line will launch during an end-of-the-school-year celebration at Staples’ Front Street location with hundreds of students who have made incredible social impacts throughout the year. Students and fellow attendees will have the opportunity to hear from ME to WE and Free The Children’s co-founder Marc Kielburger, his wife and ME to WE CEO Roxanne Joyal, 11-year-old activist, eco-blogger and inspirational speaker, Hannah Alper, VP of Merchandising at Staples Canada, Pete Gibel and a SURPRISE celebrity guest. The program will also include an awards ceremony that will honour select students, teachers and schools, and recognize them for the impact they’ve made over the school year in environmentalism, entrepreneurship and education.
