Burlington stores, one of the fastest growing national off-price retailers offering amazing deals on top-quality brands for the entire family and home, has donated $5,000 through its partnership with the national non-profit organization, AdoptAClassroom.org, in celebration of its new store now open in Fond du Lac at Forest Plaza, 822 West Johnson Street. Funds will be used towards school supplies to help ensure students at Parkside Elementary have the learning materials and tools they need to succeed now and in the future. 

A representative from AdoptAClassroom.org reached out to district and school administrators and helped to secure the donation for Parkside Elementary, which will support classrooms with new supplies. 

According to Principal Allison Birschbach, the teachers will use the funds on a number of new classroom items for students.

“On behalf of Parkside Elementary, I would like to welcome our new local Burlington store to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and thank them for their generous donation through their partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org to our school,” said Birschbach. “Our teachers are so excited to purchase the tools they need for their students this year. We are thankful for the support we received from Burlington and AdoptAClassroom.org.”

As part of Burlington’s holistic community giving approach of adding value to local communities, and in partnership with their national nonprofit partner AdoptAClassroom.org, they hope to help empower those in their local store communities to live better lives and build brighter futures. Each time Burlington opens a new store, they celebrate by adopting and funding local classrooms in their new store community. The new Fond du Lac Burlington is now open at 822 West Johnson Street and provides ‘wow- deals’ for the entire family and home.
