Comfort Cases Partners with Actor François Arnaud and Under Armour for Foster Care Youth

GAITHERSBURG, MD, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Comfort Cases, a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring dignity to children and youth entering foster care, has partnered with actor François Arnaud and Under Armour to provide essential items to young people in foster care. Since its founding in 2013, the organization has provided more than 320,000 backpacks filled with essential comfort and personal-care items. These backpacks are designed to help children and teens entering foster care have something of their own and are not forced to carry their belongings in trash bags.

Inspired by founder Rob Scheer’s own experience in foster care, Comfort Cases has been working to ensure that children entering the foster care system are treated with dignity. Scheer, who founded the organization, was moved by the stories of children entering foster care with their belongings in trash bags.

Moved by Scheer’s story, Arnaud dedicated resources from his partnership with Under Armour to the cause. Under Armour added its own support, helping Comfort Cases reach more young people. The combined contribution will provide backpacks for Comfort Cases packing events throughout the coming year, including those held during National Adoption Awareness Month in November and National Foster Care Awareness Month in May. These events aim to ensure that more children and teens entering foster care receive essential and comforting items in a backpack of their own.

Comfort Cases works with child welfare agencies, community organizations, and corporate partners throughout the United States to ensure children entering foster care are treated with dignity from the very beginning. The organization’s mission is rooted in the belief that every child deserves to be treated with dignity, and the partnership with Arnaud and Under Armour is a significant step towards achieving that goal. Since 2013, Comfort Cases has been making a difference in the lives of thousands of children, providing them with the essentials they need to feel a sense of belonging and security during a time of great uncertainty.

The partnership with Arnaud and Under Armour will help expand the reach of Comfort Cases, ensuring that even more children and teens in foster care receive the support they need. The combined efforts of these partners will help provide essential items and a sense of dignity to children and teens entering foster care, making a tangible difference in their lives.
