And for those unable to attend, the brand will be sharing tips on how parents can help prepare their kids for back to school season via the brand's social channels and paid influencers.\n\"We're grateful for the Teddy Grahams brand's ongoing support of Save the Children's Make Summer Fair campaign,\" said Betsy Zorio, Vice President, U.S. Programs at Save the Children. \"Summertime is a critical part of a child's development, and we're committed to making sure kids are well nourished throughout the summer and beyond — both mentally and physically.\"\nTo support helping all children have a carefree childhood, follow @teddygrahams and @savethechildren on Instagram and Facebook or visit SavetheChildren.org/MakeSummerFair. \nAbout Mondelēz Internati...
