On July 26, Bradford area students will have the opportunity to get a new backpack for school.
Between 1-4 p.m. that day, the Bradford area TCC store invites local families to the store to pick up backpacks for their children filled with pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders, glue and more. One backpack per child will be given away to families, but to limit the number of people at the event, children are not required to be present to receive the backpack.
The local store joins more than 800 participating TCC and Wireless Zone stores donating backpacks to children through TCC’s annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway.
Each participating store location will follow the CDC’s social distancing and state guidelines to ensure the safety of employees and event attendees. In an effort to promote safety, stores will host either distanced walk up or contactless drive up events for customers to pick up backpacks.
Each TCC store is donating up to 180 backpacks, and backpacks are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Any leftover backpacks will be donated to local schools.
In addition to the backpack donations, TCC will be awarding five $10,000 college scholarships as a part of its Big Impact program. Children in grades K-12 are eligible for entry and can be registered at their local TCC stores during the Backpack Giveaway event. Entries will be accepted from July 24-31.
