Target and Champion hosted a back-to-school event on Aug. 26 at Target's Atlantic Terminal store for 75 Brooklyn students from Children of Promise, NYC. Each student received a backpack and a $100 Target gift card to purchase classroom essentials. Champion launched a new collection at Target aimed at helping kids feel ready for the school year. Target has given 5% of its profit to communities since 1946. Children of Promise, NYC, founded in 2009, runs after-school and summer programs for children with a parent in prison in Bedford-Stuyvesant and the South Bronx, serving ages 6–18 to disrupt cycles of trauma and poverty. Children impacted by incarceration often face severe educational disruptions and are 40% more likely to struggle with literacy and numeracy.

"We're so excited about our partnership with Target, which allows our families to shop and be able to start school with a level of dignity and respect. And excite
