Marc Brown, an attorney in Columbia, South Carolina, just donated 1,300 backpacks filled with school supplies to students in Hampton County, enough to provide a bookbag for every public school student from Pre-K through sixth grade in the district.

Brown says supporting students is especially important because his mother was a life-long teacher. "My mom was a public school teacher in South Carolina for over 30 years, so I make it a goal to support students however I can," he said.  "By showing out appreciation to the families across Hampton County, we are empowering our community."

The giveaway ensures hundreds of families can start the school year with one less expense to worry about.

Attorney Donates 1,300 Backpacks to Kids In Need - Zack's Good News

Children’s Palace is a preschool and childcare center in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Along with the usual preschool and childcare fun the kids enjoy, Children's Palace also organizes an event called "Birthday Party for a Friend We Don't Know" drive, which teaches students the power of generosity.

Last week, the kids at Children’s Palace put together a collection of gifts for a young friend at the La Crosse Salvation Army Shelter — and then delivered the gifts, along with freshly baked cakes.

Thanks to extra support from different businesses and organizations in the area, Children's Palace pulled off its largest donation since starting the tradition back in 2004 — and giving shelter kids a big, unforgettable birthday celebration.

Children's Center Holds Happy Birthday Party for Shelter Kids - Zack's Good News

David Treasure, who lives near Bristol, England, was diagnosed with Parkinson's 11 years ago. Over the weekend, he celebrated his 90th birthday by completing a 90-mile walking challenge to raise money and awareness for a Parkinson's charity in the UK.

David originally wanted to do a birthday skydive. His family and doctors convinced him to pick a different challenge — so he set off on his 90-mile mission. Pushing his walker through rain, ice, and heatwaves, David logged loops around his local cul-de-sac whenever his energy allowed.

Supported by his proud family, David’s stubborn determination paid off, raising more than $4500 to fund research and support for future generations fighting the disease.

As for his next big adventure? David says he’ll still take the occasional stroll — but is in no hurry to log another 90 miles anytime soon.
