Our Positive Impact August 2017 Payline focused on Education issues that affect the students in our surrounding community. We worked with Back 2 School Illinois, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to create and support educational opportunities that enrich the lives of Illinois children.
The Payline team assembled over 160 school supply kits for area students to get their school year off to a great start. Last year, the Back 2 School initiative provided over 890,000 school supplies to nearly 30,000 underprivileged children in the state. As the largest school supply distribution program in the entire state, Back 2 School Illinois requires thousands of volunteer hours year-round to help support the needs of Illinois students who depend on the program.
Additionally, Payline contributed monetary support for a college scholarship to be given to a college-bound student for the 2018-2019 academic school year.

Looking Ahead to Next Month’s Positive Impact
This month, Payline is supporting Pediatric Cancer Research and working with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is a national childhood cancer foundation dedicated to raising funds for research into new treatments and cures for all children battling cancer. Since 2005, ALSF has provided over 690 medical research grants for 129 institutions across the United States and Canada.
