Donating & Distributing School Supplies to SWFL Children 

Elite DNA has partnered with the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida and the United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades to collect school supplies for students prior to the start of the new school year. Our mission is to ensure that the children in our community have access to everything they need to be successful in the classroom and to help relieve the burden on families in need.  

Eleven of our offices — from Naples to Bradenton — are collecting school supplies and backpacks until August 8, 2024. Additionally, the Elite DNA team is participating in the Children’s Advocacy Center and United Way’s backpack distribution event on July 27, 2024 at 4040 Palm Beach Blvd, Suite C in Fort Myers, FL, where students (K-12) can pick up backpacks filled with school supplies. 

Want to participate in our School Supplies Drive? We encourage our staff, patients and the rest of the Southwest Florida community to check out the information below and donate school supplies to local children in need.
