Back2School Backpack Fundraising Drive
We want black youth to attend and stay in school. But their chances of success are reduced without the right tools and support. This reality is why we offer the Back 2School Backpack Fundraising Drive.
It is a community initiative that provides vulnerable children and youth with much-needed backpacks and grade-level appropriate school supplies.
