Tools for Schools Drive: Supporting Central Virginia Students

Our Partnership and Mission

The 7x24 Exchange, Central Virginia Chapter is proud to announce our partnership with the American Heart Association. Together, we are committed to making a positive impact in our community by supporting this year’s Tools for Schools drive, an initiative sponsored by Baker Construction.

Goal: Equipping Local Schools

The goal is straightforward: to provide sports equipment to Central Virginia schools that lack the budget to purchase these essential items. Equipment such as soccer balls, jump ropes, and basketballs are not luxury items—they are vital for keeping kids active, fostering teamwork, and offering much-needed mental health breaks during the school day.

How You Can Help

Anyone can make a difference. The drive is open now through November 1st, 2025. There are several convenient ways to contribute:

Make a Lasting Impact

It’s easy to participate—simply buy a ball, drop it off, and help keep kids off screens and on their feet. Your support will help students stay active, build important skills, and enjoy healthy breaks throughout the school day.
