The school year is quickly approaching. That means, it's time to collect backpacks to benefit kids in the Tampa Bay community!

The Backpack to School initiative has provided more than 2,250 kids with new backpacks over the last eight years.

This year, our goal is to collect backpacks for 150 kids who attend the Wilbert Davis Branch Boys And Girls Clubs Of Tampa Bay.

Kids will receive backpacks and fill them with school supplies during the club’s annual “Back to School Bash” put on by the Jones Family Foundation.

A donation of just $10 can buy a backpack for child in need!

Donations are welcome from individuals and businesses. The deadline to donate is July 19, 2024.

Make a Business Donation: Businesses who donate $100 or more (which equals 10 backpacks) get:

Branded graphics that show your participation (and sponsorship level) that you can share through social media
A link to your website on this year's donors page (which is great for SEO!)
Gift receipt from a 501 (C)(3) tax-exempt organization
The good feeling of knowing you helped 10 kids in the Tampa Bay area!
