Help Us Put a Backpack in Every Child's Hands

Every child deserves to walk into school feeling confident, prepared, and excited to learn. For thousands of Colorado children, a backpack filled with school supplies isn't just a convenience—it's something their families simply cannot afford. At Kenzi's Causes, our Packz4Kidz program exists to ensure that financial hardship doesn't prevent a child from starting the school year with the tools they need to succeed. This year, however, we need our community more than ever.

The Need Has Never Been Greater

As the cost of living continues to rise, more families are reaching out for help than ever before. At the same time, we are facing a significant funding gap. Compared to last year, Packz4Kidz is currently $37,153.15 behind in funding, even as the need continues to grow. Despite this challenge, we remain committed to providing backpacks filled with essential school supplies to children across Colorado—but we can't do it alone.

An Easy Way to Make a Big Difference

What if you could help provide school supplies for children in need without spending a single dollar? Through our partnership with HundredX, you can do exactly that. HundredX donates money to Kenzi's Causes in exchange for your honest opinions about businesses and brands you've interacted with. Your feedback has value, and companies are willing to pay for it. Every survey you complete generates a $1.60 donation to Kenzi's Causes—at absolutely no cost to you. Our goal is to raise $15,000 through HundredX, and thanks to our incredible supporters, we've already raised $6,849. Every completed survey brings us one step closer to ensuring every child receives a backpack filled with the supplies they need for a successful school year.

Your Time Can Change a Child's School Year

There are many ways to support a nonprofit, but opportunities like this are truly unique. You don't need to make a financial donation. You simply need to share your experiences with businesses you've already visited. Imagine the impact if every supporter completed dozens of surveys—or invited a few friends and family members to participate as well. Together, those small actions can add up to thousands of dollars and hundreds of backpacks. A backpack may seem like a simple item, but to a child, it represents confidence, belonging, and the opportunity to begin the school year ready to learn alongside their classmates. We're asking our community to come together once again to ensure that no child starts school without the supplies they need. Thank you for believing in our mission and for investing your time to help Colorado children succeed. Together, we can reach our $15,000 goal and make sure thousands of students walk into school prepared, confident, and ready to thrive.
