PRA Group Colleagues Support Students Through School Supply Drive
Employees collaborate to collect essential back-to-school supplies for children in Hampton Roads, Va.
NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 21, 2025 – As students were soaking up the final weeks of their summer vacation, PRA Group colleagues got to work collecting school supplies to help make sure children in Hampton Roads, Va., have what they need when they head back to the classroom.
In partnership with WHRO Public Media, PRA Group employees held a school supply drive to collect and donate essential back-to-school supplies to local school districts. Among the items collected were notebooks, binders, pencils, markers, scissors, glue and cleaning supplies.
Supporting Students with Essential Supplies
“These are items teachers often purchase with their own money, so supporting this school supply drive goes a long way to help make sure local classrooms are stocked and students are set up for success,” said Zulema Green, U.S. national managing attorney at PRA Group.
WHRO will distribute the supplies to schools in the Hampton Roads area, which surrounds PRA Group’s global headquarters. WHRO Public Media is owned by a group of 21 local public school districts, collectively known as the Hampton Roads Educational Telecommunications Association.
