August 12, 2024- For the 27th consecutive year, Henry Schein, Inc. is helping students worldwide start the academic year off right through its “Back to School” program, a flagship initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the Company’s global corporate citizenship program. Team Schein Members (TSMs) at 40 locations in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Ireland are helping 5,300 students gain confidence and excitement for the school year, with more events planned later this year in Italy and Spain.
First introduced in 1998, the Back to School program reflects Henry Schein’s enduring commitment to communities by empowering TSMs with volunteer opportunities to support underserved children in partnership with local not-for-profit social service organizations. Team Schein Members come together to give back, packing backpacks filled with school supplies and dental kits that prepare children with essentials for the upcoming school year. Since its inception, the program has expanded globally, serving more than 65,000 children across various sites where Henry Schein operates.
