TCC to donate thousands of backpacks
Deserving young students in Bartlett will soon benefit from a national backpack giveaway campaign.
TCC, the largest Verizon authorized retailer in the U.S., is partnering with A Wireless to donate 235,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children through TCC’s annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway.
More than 1,300 participating TCC and A Wireless stores — including the TCC location at 750 N. Germantown Parkway, Suite 111 — are inviting local families and their children to visit select locations on Saturday, July 30, between noon and 3 p.m. to pick up a backpack filled with various school supplies, including pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders and glue.
One backpack per child present will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Each participating TCC store will donate 250 backpacks, and each A Wireless store will donate 125 backpacks. All leftover backpacks will be donated to local schools.
Supporters are encouraged to use hashtag #cultureofgood on Instagram and Twitter to help spread the word.
