Millburn Students Send Heartwarming Donation To Hurricane Victims
"I love our town and love that kids continue to learn kindness," a Millburn parent said.
MILLBURN, NJ — Millburn entrepreneur Carly Drum-O'Neill, the creator of BuddyBagz, recently teamed up with students at South Mountain Elementary School and the Save the Children organization to send 50 of her company’s creations to a shelter in Florida housing families affected by the recent hurricanes.
The donations of BuddyBagz, an all-in-one bag/blanket/pillow and stuffed animal, also came with almost 100 hand-written cards from South Mountain 1st and 4th graders to the affected families.
