Did you know that for youth in foster care, high school graduation is a significant achievement? Unfortunately, the odds of graduating are only 50%. That is why Day 1 Bags celebrates these seniors every year.

Our 5th annual Adopt a 2024 Senior from Foster Care needs YOUR support. With your help, we can show these deserving students that someone is cheering them on at their finish line.
We purchase and deliver fantastic gifts to over 500 high school graduating youth that may not have anyone else supporting them. Let's come together and make a real difference.

Any pledge, donation, or purchase off of our amazon wish lists are very appreciated!

For 3 years now, our "army of quilters" across the state of Texas and beyond have done an amazing job for the the seniors from foster care. This year, they are making over 500 quilts! Every single high school senior will be able to select their very own quilt on their graduation day, thanks to the time and money our volunteers have put into this campaign. Stitched into every quilt are countless hours of creative thought and intense work, and each year, the seniors LOVE this part of their overall gift! It's a handmade, one-of-a-kind keepsake anyone would cherish. This photo is one of the quilts for a senior.

We are so grateful to have such a dedicated group of volunteers who believe in providing to our seniors.

Imagine this…
• you walk into a restaurant
• you have a problem you're trying to solve (you’re hungry),
• you have resources you’re willing to part with to solve your problem (your money)

Instead of a menu, the restaurant shares with you their colorful brochure of their goals, history, reviews, and Better Business Bureau ratings… but not is what food items are on the menu. Obviously, this is an absurd story…you are there to eat, not to find out about the history of the restaurant.

At Day 1 Bags, we have a brochure, accolades, reviews and more… but we also believe you deserve to see how much each graduation present costs per senior for the 500 seniors graduating this May. It’s our a menu! And, we even tell you when items are SOLD OUT!

Here’s the bonus:
✅ You don’t have to pay a thing now… just a pledge to donate later.
✅ YOU receive a free gift for your pledge of over $25.

Pledge here for Class of 2024: https://form.jotform.com/233614602560146

Now to find a restaurant that allows you to just pledge to pay and YOU receive a gift!

Have a super day!
