More event details to come!
The Ready for Learning Backpack-A-Thon® is an exciting corporate event that brings hundreds of corporate volunteers together to stuff thousands of backpacks for local children living in poverty. Backpacks are filled assembly-line style with all the new school supplies a child needs to be ready to learn, and then picked up by our Nonprofit Social Service Partners directly from the site and distributed to local children within days. This high-energy event is fueled by great spirit and friendly competition and provides an incredible opportunity for corporate engagement and team building.
Backpack-A-Thon is the signature fundraising event for our Ready for Learning initiative, which distributes backpacks filled with new school supplies and packages filled with shoes, clothing, and more, to ensure that children arrive at school on the first day prepared and excited to learn! Corporate supporters are invited to join us and help fill backpacks with new school supplies for local children in need. Sponsorship opportunities with event participation are limited.
