School Rocks Backpack Giveaway 2023

Thanks for another great event! TCC hosted our 11th annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway on Sunday, July 30 at 1PM.

Participating stores across the country handed out free backpacks and school supplies to students.

Behind the Backpack

We know that sending kids to school each year is expensive, especially getting all the necessary supplies. According to the National Retail Federation, families spend, on average, $864 on school supplies.  TCC wants to help alleviate some of the stress of back-to-school time and help your kids show up to their first day prepared, confident, and ready to do great things.

Doing Good Year Round

At TCC, we are all about doing good in our local communities. This is just one of the many ways we give back throughout the year. Learn more about our giving here.

    Doesn’t your child have to be with you to pick up a backpack? Asking cause me daughter will be at a friend’s birthday.

    1. Tori Adachi says:

      Hi Dawn! I would call your local store to find out their specific requirements before attending.

  7. Augs says:

    I tried calling the Royal Avenue (Eugene, OR) Verizon to find out if the event is here but no one is picking up. Also, I have a sick kid who wasn’t able to come, can I snag one for him still?

    1. Tori Adachi says:

      Hi Augs! I just reached out to Eugene’s district manager, Daniel. The Eugene store is having an event today! Since your kid is sick, Daniel said it is okay to go to the event without him to get a backpack.

  8. Linda Abernathy says:

    We are having our annual Perry Day in the Perry projects 14204. And was wondering if you had extra bookbags that we can give to the children in our community which is a low income community. Our event is aug 26 12-6 pm at Perry projects field

    1. Tori Adachi says:

      Hi Linda! I just reached out to Wansi, our district manager in Buffalo, NY. Is the yahoo email address you left this comment with a good place for him to get in touch with you, or do you have another preferred method of communication? You can email me, Tori Adachi, at [email protected] so you don’t need to publicly comment your contact info. Thank you!

  9. Elisabeth Ruhlen says:

    Hi, I am looking to help collaborate with you in the Clarkston, MI area – are we able to help donate supplies & backpacks to the cause?

    1. Tori Adachi says:

      Hi Elisabeth! Thank you so much for reaching out! We do not have a store in Clarkston; our closest store would be in Livonia. Is the email you left with this comment a good email address to pass on to our district manager in that area?

      Tori A.
