Backpacks for Bright Futures Sponsorship Opportunities

Every student deserves a strong start to the school year, but for one in four children in our region, basic school supplies are out of reach.

Backpacks for Bright Futures engages more than 200 volunteers, corporate partners and community members to pack and deliver thousands of backpacks filled with essential school supplies. These efforts ensure that students have the tools they need to learn, grow and thrive.

With the cost of supplies nearly doubling in recent years and funding sources shrinking, the need is greater than ever. We must raise at least $65,000 to meet this year’s demand — and we can’t do it without your help. Sponsorships begin at $1,000.
Your support will help us fill 6,000 backpacks this year! 
Backpacks for Bright Futures — providing the tools every student needs to succeed.
