Got Y'er Back was founded by Cole Dustin and his mother, Debra Netschert, in 2021 with the goal of providing tangible support to young people and their education. Since then, we have partnered with several organizations and engaged students from various schools to help raise funds to pack and distribute nearly 1,900 backpacks filled with essential school supplies. All funds raised from our campaigns go directly toward purchasing backpacks and school supplies.

Got Y'er Back collaborates with students across New Jersey to build fundraising teams, fostering service-oriented youth who are committed to helping those less fortunate. Last year, our team packed and distributed a total of 700 backpacks—more than doubling our goal of 300—thanks to our incredible supporters and the remarkable efforts of the boys in the Class of 2028. They worked tirelessly to fundraise, pack, and distribute backpacks to every student at Bonnie Brae and The Neighborhood House.

Over the past two years, the Class of 2028 has raised over $56,000 and helped supply backpacks to nearly 1,200 children in need. Our current goal is to fill backpacks with school supplies and other essentials for all students at Bonnie Brae, a residential school for youth in crisis, and The Neighborhood House in Morristown, which provides resources for those in need in Morris County. Any remaining funds will be used to supply backpacks to students in other communities throughout New Jersey.

Please help us ensure these students are prepared and can start the school year off right.

We are incredibly grateful for your help and generosity!!

Thank you so much for your help in our fundraising efforts!

With gratitude,

Cole Dustin and the Got Y'er Back Team
