The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, Boeing and Communities in Schools Jacksonville recently partnered for a back-to-school supply giveaway featuring 15 elementary students from Jacksonville. These 15 students were each paired with a Jumbo Shrimp player and provided a co-branded Boeing/Jumbo Shrimp backpack to pick out school supplies for the upcoming school year. They toured Boeing’s Jacksonville facility and also interacted with aerospace experts to learn what it takes to enter the aerospace field. “It’s good for us to be involved. Back to school for the kids, our players can relate to going back to school and helping out the families. I thought it was a cool thing to be a part of.” said Jumbo Shrimp manager Daren Brown. Remaining school supplies for the day were donated to the non-profit Communities in Schools Jacksonville. “Boeing is committed to preparing and inspiring the next generation of innovators and explorers across Florida and the greater Jacksonville area,” said Rhiannon Sherrard, Boeing Jacksonville executive site director.
