School guidance counselors recommended students for participation. Qualified students were given a $50 budget and paired up with volunteers to shop at Walmart. Students picked out school supplies, uniforms and other necessities to prepare for the upcoming school year. After shopping, students were encouraged to express gratitude and appreciation to their volunteer helper. They also were asked to "pay it forward" by doing something nice for someone else.

"While SNG has a mission to deliver an accessible world through special needs equipment, we also place great importance on supporting the local community ― especially education," said Andrew J. Garnett, founder, president & CEO of SNG. "We want to be a part of ensuring that Broward County students have all of the tools they need for a successful school year.

"Knowledge is something that students can carry with them wherever they go and travel in life, and we want to help provide them with the best opportunity to gain that knowledge," he continued.
