Trane Technologies

Trane Technologies Assurance & Advisory Services is back to Uplift our communities for the 2025 school year by supporting Classroom Central and our local Charlotte schools. Last year our company collected over $1,500 of supplies and donations for Classroom Central. Along with other departments efforts with Classroom Central, Trane Technologies was recognized last year with an “Excellence Award” for our generosity.

This years drive will take place during August (Aug 1^st to Aug 31^st) and donation barrels are located in the lobby area of Building B, D and E. While all school supplies are welcome, the 9 most in-demand supplies are Crayons, Colored Markers, Composition Books, Dry Erase Markers, Filler Paper, Glue Sticks, Highlighters, Pencils, Pocket Folders. If you would prefer to donate financially or do not come to the Davidson campus, you can do that here!

Your support is more crucial this year than ever before. Did you know that 54% of children in our community live below the poverty line and can’t afford basic school supplies? This means 1 in 2 local students start school without the essentials they need to feel included and succeed in the classroom. Classroom Central supports over 162,000 students and their teachers in 248 high-need schools, across six regional school districts, and provides them with free school supplies and classroom resources.

Join Classroom Central and WSOC-TV for the Classroom Central 9 School Tools, the Carolinas’ largest school supply fundraiser. Without basic supplies like pencils and books, children living in poverty face greater barriers to learning than their classmates. Hosting a drive or contributing to one can ensure Classroom Central is equipped to continue providing FREE supplies, helping break the generational poverty cycle. Your generosity benefits over 162,000 eligible students. Your donations foster equity in education by providing the necessary tools for success.

162,000+ local students need = 1,000,000 school supplies needed!

Through our partnerships, each $1 donated becomes $9 worth of distributed supplies for students in our community. Your support and collections during the Classroom Central 9 School Tools campaign give students the supplies they need for a successful school year.
