There are lots of ways to celebrate a milestone. For our 20th anniversary, we chose to give back.

The 5 by 5 Design team was joined by clients, partners, and friends for a morning of service at Kids In Need Foundation, packing backpacks filled with school supplies for students preparing to head back to school. Together, our group packed more than 1,750 backpacks, each one helping a student start the school year with the tools they need to learn and succeed.

The work doesn’t stop there. Over the next few weeks, the foundation hopes to fill 100,000 backpacks and is looking for volunteers to help make it happen. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back before school starts, visit the Kids In Need Foundation volunteer page to learn more and sign up.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who celebrated with us during our event and throughout the year by participating in our theme: Be Kind. Spark Joy.

We look forward to our next opportunity to work with you to spark what's next.
