Description

From Anchorage Chamber of Commerce : November 3, 2021 AAA Alaska is hosting a Hat, Coat & Mitten drive in our branch to donate to a local school in Anchorage! We are doing this in honor of Ruby Bridges. In 2018, a class of AAA School Safety Patrollers from Martin Elementary School in South San Francisco, CA learned about the civil rights icon Ruby Bridges, and her brave walk to school as she became one of the first Black children to integrate an all-white school in New Orleans. These young leaders founded Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day, with the aspiration of a nationwide movement for inclusion and safety. Our School of choice to receive all donations is - Abbott Loop Elementary! To help us honor Ruby Bridges and celebrate diversity & inclusion by donating to this Hat, Coat & Mitten Drive! Donations can be dropped off until November 17th at 317 W. 104th Avenue Suite 400 Anchorage, AK 99515 This press release was produced by the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce.
