B2SI is dedicated to improving the lives of Illinois children by supporting efforts to give them increased educational opportunities. Currently, our main program is a Back 2 School initiative, the largest of it's kind in the state. Each year we distribute school supplies to deserving children. Since inception we've provided over 290,000 students with a box of school supplies to start the school year. To date we have given out over 8.8 million school supplies. B2SI also offers college scholarships to graduating high school seniors. We believe a good education is the key to a healthy society. With an ambitious agenda to improve educational opportunities for all Illinois children, we are always looking for additional financial support and volunteers.
