I am the director of digital marketing at a non-profit that works with NGOs around the world. I have been continually impressed with Carasmark's ability to execute their mission and truly impact their target demographic.

As a NYC public teacher of 8 years, I see everyday the necessity there is out there to have students' basic needs met in order for them to be successful academically and socially in school. I have seen the significant impact that Carasmark has made on elementary school students in Brooklyn, NY. Students that have benefited from this charity come to school with more confidence and the tools needed to be an engaged and successful student in school. The distraught looks on students' faces when they show up to school with nothing are changed to a priceless smile when they are given a free book bag with the materials needed to help them function better in school clearly shows that Carasmark IS making a MARK and changing students' lives in urban areas. Keep up the good work Carasmark! My students need you! - Jes Kruse
