We’ve Got Your Back and Fort Payne Pediatrics are partnering again for the ninth annual Operation Back to School fundraiser to help DeKalb County children currently in DHR custody. This fundraiser is specifically aimed at buying these children back to school clothing.

Our Goal is to provide each of the children starting school this year with a $250 gift card to purchase shirts, pants, shoes and a jacket. Many of these children will not be able to have new back to school clothing without this assistance.

We are asking for business and/or personal tax-deductible donations to reach our goal.

Each donation of $200 or more will receive special recognition (if you so choose) on our Facebook page.

Checks can be made payable to We’ve Got Your Back (Memo: Back to School-DeKalb Co.) and dropped off in person or mailed to ATTN: We’ve Got Your Back, Fort Payne Peds, 1359 Old Water Works Rd SW, Fort Payne, AL 35968 or you can donate online at https://givebutter.com/obts25

All fundraising progress will be shared on our Facebook pages. When funds are disbursed at the end of our fundraiser, we will publish all donations (named or anonymous), the total amount raised, any gift card purchase fees and the total amount disbursed.

If you have any questions or concerns you can contact Danielle Blalock at our office, 256-997-5900 or at dblalock@fortpaynepeds.com.
