Ally joins forces with Classroom Central to deliver school supplies to every student at Hidden Valley Elementary

"Doing right by our communities is core to Ally's culture, and for the second consecutive year, we are pleased to work with Classroom Central to select a local school and deliver every student the supplies they need for a great year of learning," said Gina Proia, chief communications officer and head of corporate citizenship at Ally. "In addition to the school supplies, we also wanted to create an opportunity for students to learn about money and financial topics at every grade level for years to come. The books for the library can make it fun and accessible to learn about financial topics."

"Classroom Central is excited about the ongoing commitment Ally displays to our Charlotte-area students," said Karen Calder, executive director at Classroom Central. "This surprise donation of backpacks, supplies and library books will make such a positive impact for these students by preparing them with the tools they need to succeed this school year. We are grateful for Ally's continued support in making this happen."

The contribution of supplies and library books reinforces Ally's commitment to the community and dedication to advancing financial literacy and education among all ages. Ally has worked with Classroom Central since 2012 to support schools and students in the Charlotte area through school supply donations, drives and volunteer opportunities. Last year, Ally collaborated with Classroom Central to surprise the students of Thomasboro Academy with supplies for the year.
