Back to School supplies

For the third year in a row, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess has stepped up to ensure the children in Sojourner Center’s programs start the school year prepared and confident. Their continued partnership has been an exemplary demonstration of how community support can make a profound difference in the lives of survivors and their families.

This year, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess provided 120 school supply kits, each box filled with age-appropriate school supplies ranging from Pre-K to 12th grade. This support helps to remove one more barrier for families rebuilding after experiencing domestic violence, sexual violence, or human trafficking.

“Supporting Sojourner Center’s Back-to-School initiative is something we look forward to each year. It’s incredibly meaningful to know our efforts help children begin the school year with confidence and dignity. Through H.E.A.R.T. (Helping Everyone and Rising Together), one of our philanthropy committees at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, we are proud to support local organizations making a real impact in our community.”

Sarah Miguel, Talent and Culture Manager, Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

For the children we serve, something as simple as having the right supplies can be a source of pride and a powerful reminder that their community cares about them. It means they can walk into their classrooms feeling ready to learn, without the added stress of not having what they need.

We are deeply grateful to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess for their ongoing commitment to our Back-to-School initiative. Their generosity not only equips children for academic success but also reinforces our mission to provide safety, dignity, and hope for every survivor and their family.
