The event kicked off the organization’s “Ready for Back to School” summer campaign in an impactful way.
Ed Bustos, Rollins assistant vice president of enrollment management and director of international admission, is a former Gift For Teaching board chair and current board member and led a Rollins team to join in this event at the Orange County Convention Center.
A Gift for Teaching serves as Central Florida’s primary provider of free school supplies to teachers for their students who need them most.
