Residents at The Park at Copper Creek independent living community in Chandler, AZ, joined together to support local first graders, raising over $1,700 in a communitywide donation drive led by the inspiring Betty Casey! With the funds donated by generous residents, Betty and a group of volunteers purchased 52 backpacks and numerous school supplies to help students at Anderson Elementary School start the upcoming year strong. Thank you to 12News (NBC) for spotlighting this act of community kindness!
