Sydney Paige is named after the children of our founder, Courtney Brockmeyer, who left her corporate career to build something more meaningful. She wanted to make a real difference for kids in need, spend more time with her family, and show her children that when you lead with purpose and passion, you can change lives—including your own.

We partner with schools and community-based organizations nationwide to make sure every backpack and supply kit reaches children in under-resourced areas who need them most, from kindergarten through 12th grade.
We work directly with many Title 1 schools to ensure students of all ages start the year with everything they need to succeed, not just to learn, but to feel confident doing it. Middle and high school students are often overlooked when it comes to donations, but we make sure they’re seen, supported, and set up to thrive.
Each backpack is filled with high-quality, grade-appropriate school supplies and new books. We can also provide STEM/STEAM kits and literacy kits when requested by schools or partners, customizing support to meet specific educational goals.
Nope—and that’s by design. We’ve created three different sets for grades K–2, 3–5, and 6–12. Each one contains age-appropriate supplies and a backpack sized to fit that student best. What a kindergartener needs looks very different from what a high school student needs, and we make sure our kits reflect that, because thoughtful details matter.
We design and manufacture our own backpacks to make sure they’re built to last, because for many of the students we serve, this may be the only backpack they receive all year (or longer).
Our school supplies are also carefully sourced based on quality, often from the same factories as top retail brands. By hand-selecting items this way, we can stretch every donation further while ensuring every child receives tools they can be proud of and rely on.
Absolutely! You can launch a custom online drive or host an in-person collection. We’ll help you every step of the way, whether you're an individual, school, company, or club looking to make a difference.
