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 2,420 kids with new backpacks over the last eight years.

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

Donations are welcome from individuals and businesses. The deadline to donate is August 5, 2025.

Make a Business Donation: Businesses who donate $150 or more (which equals 15 backpacks) get:

Branded social media graphic that shows your participation (this is a great way to show off your support for your community!)
A link to your website on the event page (which is good for SEO!)
Gift receipt from a 501 (C)(3) tax-exempt organization
The good feeling of knowing you helped kids in the Tampa Bay area!

Deadline to donate is Tuesday, August 5th.
