In 2025, Burlington partnered with AdoptAClassroom.org® for the ninth consecutive back-to-school season to stock high-needs classrooms across the country with school supplies.
Through their annual in-store back-to-school fundraising campaign with AdoptAClassroom.org, Burlington raised more than $1.7 million to support students. As a result, 92,500+ more students will have the essential learning materials they need to thrive in the classroom this school year.
Nancy’s classroom is just one of the more than 5,500 classrooms across the country adopted by Burlington in 2025. Teachers like Nancy immediately saw the impact the donation had on their students’ learning.
“Burlington’s support helps provide students with the supplies they need to learn, create and do their best every day,” said Nancy. “These materials make a real difference in helping our students stay engaged, confident and ready to succeed. Thank you for investing in their education and future.”
Burlington has a long history of supporting students with AdoptAClassroom.org. Since 2017, our award-winning partnership has raised more than $15.5M to help equip 1.5+ million students across the United States and Puerto Rico with essential school supplies.
When a child shows up to school without the materials they need to learn, teachers often reach into their own pockets to ensure students’ needs are met. According to our 2025 Teacher Survey, educators’ classroom spending is at the highest point in the past decade, with the top purchases including essential school supplies.
The impact of Burlington’s generosity goes far beyond the security provided by full classroom supply closets. As one grateful teacher funded explained:
“Your support allows my students to explore, design and problem-solve through hands-on learning experiences. With these materials, they’ll build models, conduct experiments and think like real scientists and engineers. Your contribution is helping spark curiosity, creativity and critical thinking that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful for your kindness and belief in our students’ potential!”
From books to instruments, flexible funding through AdoptAClassroom.org lets teachers purchase the exact supplies their students need, when they need them.
