Thanks for a great event!
TCC hosted our 12th annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway on Sunday, July 28 at 1 PM local time. Participating stores across the country handed out free backpacks to students of all ages that day.
Student must be with you at the event. One backpack per student. While supplies last on a first come, first served basis.
Get a Golden Ruler and win!
$100 for you. $1,000 for your school.
10 lucky students around the country received a backpack with a golden ruler keychain. Each student received $100 to purchase school supplies, and their school received a $1,000 Amazon wish list buyout. Terms and Conditions apply. Ask store for details.
Behind the Backpack
We know that sending kids to school each year is expensive, and backpacks can be one of the most expensive supplies! According to the National Retail Federation, this year, families are projected to spend $890* on school supplies, a record high. 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, doing good and giving back in our local communities is part of who we are. This is just one of the many ways we give back throughout the year. Learn more about our giving here. And read about last quarter’s giveback event, Rescues Rock, here.

Hello,
I am a published Author and I would love to be apart of the book bag drive, or any event with Verizon. Is there a way that I can get in contact with someone about getting my books in the book bags , and possibly doing an event with Verizon. Please advise

I hat are the terms and conditions? Is this free for the public? Do you have to have a Verizon Account? Thanks
Hi Michael! This is free to the public – you do not need to be a Verizon customer. The only terms are that backpacks are provided on a first come, first serve basis while supplies last, and the student must be present with you.

Why are all your stores not the same when it comes to this great project? Some offer so much to the kids when they come to get their pack packs. Others just give out the back pack.
Hi Sue! All of our stores give free backpacks to students at this event. Some store teams decide to go above and beyond for their event and partner with other organizations within the community to include extra items in the backpacks or more activities at their event, but this is not a requirement and we leave it up to each individual store to plan an event that works for them.
