On Monday June 4th, several members of the Harvey Kalles Team attended Project Giveback at Park Lane Public School. The goal of this program is to teach Grade 3 students the importance of charity and philanthropy by allowing them to pick a cause, do research on the cause, and then present it to their fellow classmates. Harvey Kalles has been a sponsor of Project Giveback for many years, and supports Ellen Schwartz, the founder of the program. In addition, the Joey Award, named after the late Joey Goodbaum, is given to two students who exemplify what it is to be a young leader in the community. In attendance at the event were Harvey and Elise Kalles, Corinne Kalles, Stephen Bianco, and Jake Goodbaum. For more information on how to get involved, please visit http://www.projectgiveback.com.
