Give Big, Give Backpacks!
Join us on July 31, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. across multiple locations as we give away 3,200 free backpacks for students filled with school supplies ready for the 2025-2026 school year. We can’t wait to see you there!
Empowering children to thrive in their academic journey
Every year, the Community Choice Foundation helps students feel prepared for the upcoming year with the tools they need for school. All 3,200 students will walk away with a brand-new backpack filled with the supplies they need to kick off the school year the right way. This treasured tradition is our way of Giving Big to the communities we serve.
