Loud Media Cares: School Supply Drive

In Partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley
August 1st – October 5th

At Loud Media, we believe that every child deserves the tools to succeed. That's why we’re proud to launch our Loud Media Cares School Supply Drive, running for eight weeks across the Knoxville area in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley.

The Need in Our Community

Each year, many students across East Tennessee walk into classrooms without the basic supplies they need to succeed—pencils, notebooks, backpacks, and more. While generous donations often flow in before the school year begins, the truth is that the need doesn't end after the first day. In fact, it often grows. Teachers, counselors, and organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs regularly see new and ongoing needs arise weeks into the semester. That's why we're extending our campaign through October 5th—to catch those mid-year gaps and help where it's most needed.

Our Partner: Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley

With a long-standing mission to support youth in need, the Boys & Girls Clubs have a direct connection to the children and families who will benefit most from your donations. Their reach and impact are unmatched, and we are honored to work alongside them in this effort. They will oversee the distribution of all collected supplies.
