The local Verizon wireless store, Verizon TCC Madison, located at 378 E. Base St., will be one of over 1,000 stores operated by Round Room, LLC taking part in the 11th Annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway. Since 2013, the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway has supplied over 1.3 million backpacks to school age children nationwide, just in time for the new school year.
This year, the backpack giveaway will take place on Sunday, July 30, at the Madison Verizon wireless store. The store will begin giving away backpacks, one per child, at 1 p.m. The backpacks will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis. Each backpack will be filled with school supplies such as pencils, paper folders, a ruler, etc. Any backpacks that may be left over will be donated to a school of the local store’s choice.
"The School Rocks Backpack Giveaway is our company's cornerstone annual event, and I couldn't be more thankful for our store locations, employees and customers for helping us continue to do good in the thousands of communities we operate in," said Scott Moorehead, CEO of Round Room. "The start of the school year is an exciting time for many, and we look forward each and every year to making school supplies more accessible for students so they can thrive in the classroom."
