Pennsylvania Ambassadors Deliver 1000 jigsaw puzzles to Diverse Communities for Black History Month

There are several communities in Pennsylvania that have diverse communities in need of resources. I managed to contact multiple companies and the Thred Up consignment company to gather 1000 puzzles. I then shipped them to PA so our Ambassadors Brayson and his brother could donate the puzzles to Alzheimer's facilities! Black History Month is celebrated in February but it is valued all year! African Americans are diagnosed twice as often as Whites yet do not have as many resources. We want to close the GAP! We are then organizing students to solve those puzzles with the Alzheimer's patients for our national and international PUZZLE TIME PROGRAM!
