CJ Ciucha first collected for 9 School Tools in 2006, when he was starting kindergarten. He's continued every year since -- asking for school supply donations instead of gifts on his birthday. He even volunteers at Classroom Central, sorting donations from the collection.
“Giving the kids that normally wouldn't have the chance, the chance to learn and to be something better than they could be. It helps my heart to know that I can help,” said Ciucha.
