NAC Tools 2 Schools Competition

NAC is challenging YOU to a competition!

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Firms that participate in NAC's school supply competition will receive a donation box from Communities In Schools of Spokane County for their reception area. Please encourage your firm and staff members to donate cash or school supplies. Have fun with it—run your own internal competition between teams or get your firm to match staff donations. The boxes will be picked up by CISSC on Friday, August 19th. They will tally the dollar value of the donations to determine the winner, and distribute the supplies to the 12 local middle and high schools listed on the next page. The firm that donates the most and wins the competition will be recognized at a NAC-hosted BBQ for all participants outside our office from 5:00 – 7:00 PM on August 24th. Wear your boogie shoes because Grand Avenue will provide the entertainment while we serve hot dogs, chips, cold beer, sodas, and dessert as our way of saying Thank You!

We hope you’ll accept our challenge and join us on August 24th as we celebrate the A/E/C industry’s collective generosity and the good work we’re doing to help the students in our local schools. Our office is located at:

1201 West Riverside Avenue, Spokane
