TEEDC PROGRAMS
Shop With a Boss (SWAB) is a National Program that provides financial assistance to hundreds of inner-city families each year during the winter holiday season. Financial assistance comes in the form of a fun filled day for children and teens going on a $100 shopping spree. We partner with entrepreneurs, creatives, business owners and everyday people to create a shopping spree experience like no other.
