Volunteers Make It Happen!

Without the countless volunteer hours provided by hundreds of generous community members at the end of each summer, we would not be able to fill the thousands of backpacks with precious school supplies for students in need.

Whether as individuals, families, businesses, or groups, our volunteers come together at our warehouse to fill backpacks.

We appreciate every minute that they give!

Or, wait until July 15th to drop the backpack at one our several Drop-Off Locations

Thanks so much for your interest in helping students in the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley School Districts.

The annual Trash Bash is a fund raising event to benefit Crayons to Calculators!  Western Disposal strongly supports our mission to provide backpacks and school supplies for children in need throughout the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley school districts.  An estimated 15,000 – 20,000 students are unable to start their school year with basic school supplies; With Western Disposal’s help, we can help thousands of those students each year.

In 2010, Western Disposal, its employees, vendors, customers, and generous others raised $100,000 for Crayons to Calculators.  This year Western Disposal has set their sights on a goal of $125,000!

For more information about this event, please contact Deb Dabkowski at Western Disposal via email or phone 303.448.2308.

On Thursday, October 14, 2010 Crayons to Calculators proudly hosted their Corporate Challenge Celebration at Western Disposal Services’ corporate headquarters in Boulder, Colorado.  On hand were many of the 2010 Corporate Challenge participants as well as Crayons to Calculators Collaborative Partners and Corporate Sponsors.

Over 7,200 backpacks filled with basic school supplies were distributed to students throughout the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley School Districts just before the start of the current academic school year.

Francie Anhut and Catherine Bedell accepted their generous donation on behalf of the thousands of Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley School District students that will have the much needed school supplies that they would not have afforded without the help of Crayons to Calculators!

Take the Crayons to Calculators 2010  Corporate Challenge!
