Parries founded Kids for Recycling, a for-profit company that collects recyclables, turns those recyclables into cash, and gives 100% of the money to fund local school programs.
When Sean Parries began his battle against AIDS, he lost everything including his business, his possessions, and nearly his life.
“But then there was a miracle,” he said.
As his body began to heal, Sean Parries made the decision to dedicate his life to helping children in need.
Parries founded Kids for Recycling, a for-profit company that collects recyclables, turns those recyclables into cash, and gives 100% of the money to fund local school programs. It’s a holistic way of taking care of every aspect of the environment.
To raise awareness for the company and its cause, Parries is hosting a fundraiser for the non-profit, Friendly House.
This is an exciting event with family-friendly music, art lessons, face painting, and balloons.
All Parries asks of guests is that they bring recyclables. The proceeds of the recyclables will go to Project Return, an after-school program at Friendly House that offers services to homeless families.
To learn more about Parries and his life-changing experience, watch the YouTube video below.
Kids for Recyling Fundraiser, Friendly House Community Center, 1737 NW 26th Ave. Saturday, June 27, 10am - 1pm.
