GARDNER WHITE AND CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION OF MICHIGAN JOIN FORCES TO HELP MICHIGAN’S YOUNGEST LEARNERS THRIVE

Published

on

Statewide “Bring It Home for Kids” campaign expands access to early language, learning and family support programs during the years that matter most.

DETROIT, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gardner White and Children’s Foundation of Michigan today announced the launch of Bring It Home for Kids, a statewide campaign dedicated to helping Michigan’s youngest children build the language, literacy and developmental skills that lay the foundation for lifelong success. The initiative will raise funds to expand access to programs ensuring more children enter kindergarten healthy, confident and ready to succeed while inviting communities across the state to invest in Michigan’s next generation.

The partnership is rooted in a shared belief that investing in children today creates a better Michigan for tomorrow.

“Every child deserves a foundation that sets them up for a bright future,” said Rachel Stewart, CEO of Gardner White. “Research has shown that the earliest years of life shape everything that follows, and we know that strong language and literacy skills begin long before a child ever walks into a classroom. At Gardner White, we’ve always believed our responsibility extends beyond the homes we furnish to the communities we call home. Investing in children and families is one of the most meaningful ways we can strengthen the communities we serve.”

By age five, 90% of brain development is already complete, making those early years one of the greatest opportunities to influence a child’s future success in school, health and life. Yet for many Michigan families, access to quality early childhood resources and support remains out of reach. Through Bring It Home for Kids, Gardner White and Children’s Foundation of Michigan are working to help close the gap.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Gardner White for their commitment to Michigan’s children and families,” said Andrew Stein, President & CEO of the Children’s Foundation of Michigan. “When businesses step forward to support children during the earliest years of life, the impact extends far beyond today. Together, we’re helping more children get the healthy start they deserve and creating stronger communities for generations to come.”

HOW IT WORKS
From July 9 through August 4, Gardner White will donate $50 for every qualifying in-store purchase of $500 or more to the Children’s Foundation of Michigan, turning every purchase into an investment in Michigan’s next generation while helping ensure more children have access to the resources they need during critical developmental years. The campaign will run at all Gardner White Michigan locations during this period, with the soon-to-open Gardner White Grand Rapids location participating August 6 through September 1.

Together, the funds raised will:

Expand access to quality early childhood education, healthcare and family support services.Increase developmental screenings, including hearing, vision and oral health.Grow early language, learning and literacy programs across Michigan.Equip parents and caregivers to become their child’s first and most influential teacher.Help more children enter school healthy, confident and ready to learn.

FUNDING PROCESS
Funding raised through Bring It Home for Kids will be distributed through the Children’s Foundation of Michigan’s established grantmaking process. Organizations interested in applying will be invited to submit proposals once funding priorities and application details are announced following the campaign.

Using the Foundation’s existing review process helps ensure funding is awarded transparently and directed to the programs that can have the greatest impact for Michigan’s children and families.
