Project: Back Pack
Donation protected
After the success of the Black Panther Challenge, I am calling out to you all again to come through for the kids in Philly one more time.
According to the National Retail Federation, parents-of K-12 students will spend an average of $669.28 per child on back to school expenses. This total is inclusive of items such as new clothes, shoes, and of course, your basic supplies. Inspired by "Pack Your Back" (a non-profit organization which works to supply various resources to citizens of Flint, MI) Project: Backpack is all about helping relieve some of the addition strain these expenses may cause on families.
What is the goal?
I' m looking to raise enough to put together at least 100 backpacks to be distributed to families in Philadelphia school districts. Some potential costs:
Backpacks: $40-$50
Pens: $5
Pencils: $5
Erasers:$ 5
Pencil Box / Pouch. $5
crayons& colored Pencils: $3
Notebook Paper: 6/$11
Index cards: $3
Folders: 6/$15
Composition Notebooks: $3
Calculator: $8-15
Highlighters: $7
Page Protectors/subject Dividers: $9
Glue / Glue sticks: $4
Notebooks: $3
3" Binders: $6
Post it Notes: $7
Dry Erase markers: $5
Tissues: $4
Hand sanitizer:$3
Total:$ 160-$175
The remaining supplies and funds will be donated to teachers for their classrooms at Benjamin B. Comegys Elementary School.
How will it be distributed?
Donations are open until Sunday August 19th. Registration for recipients will open on on Sunday August 12.
Distribution event details TBD.
Receipts will be provided to all donors upon request.
Education is important. Let's supply these kids with the tools the need.
