On the first day of pre-planning for the 2023-2024 academic year, over 1,000 Dream Boxes from Coach were gifted to every staff member at five Orange County public high schools! Those boxes were filled with school supplies and Coach gifts, including purses and backpacks.

Coach hosted their annual Coach Store Manager Conference at JW Marriott Orlando – Grande Lakes and wanted to give back to the high schools surrounding the area as part of their Dream It Real/Coach Cares Volunteer project. Schools included Oak Ridge High School, Freedom High School, Dr. Phillips High School, Lake Buena Vista High School, and Cypress Creek High School.

An additional 2,500 Kits for Kids were also hand-packed by conference attendees to stock the shelves of A Gift for Teaching’s Free Teacher Supply Store as it reopens for the new school year.

This special surprise was made possible in partnership with Coach, A Gift for Teaching, Foundation for Orange County Public Schools, and Soles4Souls to celebrate our well-deserving teachers as they prepare for another successful school year.
