Why Backpacks Are Important
The back-to-school season can be a significant financial burden for families. On average, families spend about $890 on school supplies each year. With 1 in 5 school-aged children living in poverty, this expense can be overwhelming. Providing free backpacks helps to alleviate some of this financial pressure, ensuring that every child is equipped with the tools they need to succeed in school.
The Legacy of the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway
The School Rocks Backpack Giveaway has a strong tradition of supporting children and families across the nation. To date, Verizon Wireless Zone has given away an impressive 1.4 million backpacks through this initiative. This year, the event is expanding to 1,117 locations, where 120,000 backpacks will be distributed!
