Giving Back 2 Puerto Rico.

A Terren Event Fundraiser for Puerto Rico.

A Word from Our Legendary Champion

A man with dark hair smiling, wearing a dark shirt, in a room with blurred background of office equipment.

“Puerto Rico has given me so much, this island has become part of me. I believe those of us who live in Puerto Rico, who care for its people, and those who love this island from afar, have the power to transform lives through generosity.

GivingBack2PR shouldn’t just be a yearly obligation; it should be a movement of compassion and gratitude that uplifts children and youth, creating a stronger, more vibrant Puerto Rico for generations to come.

By giving back through GivingBack2PR, you can turn gratitude into action, solve for food security, pediatric healthcare, which will serve as a foundation to improve educational standard. We are GivingBack2PR to help every child on the island of Puerto Rico thrive.”

The reality of island childhood in puerto rico.

Classroom with desks organized in clusters, whiteboard, teacher's desk, and educational decorations on the walls.

There are only 227,000 students left in public schools across 78 municipalities, a 50% reduction in enrollment in less than a decade. In 2024, only 16,000 babies were born. Puerto Rico has about 3,000 children per town - our rapidly aging island is slowly running out of children.

Last year, more than 60% of public school students failed their grade. The island has the highest absenteeism rate in the Nation, with more than 50% of school enrollment being classified as chronically absent. This is a reflection of deep educational inequities and the urgent need for stronger school support systems.

Over 55% of children in Puerto Rico are classified as special needs, the highest rate in the United States. Between 40% - 80% of Puerto Rico’s school kids suffer from extreme bullying at home and at school. One in three children lack consistent access to nutrition or basic health care.
