Pack to School Surpasses $200K in Donations

Our annual Pack to School event celebrates a major fundraising milestone after another successful year

For over a decade, our Denver team has proudly hosted the annual Pack to School donation drive, benefiting students in need across the Denver Metro area as they prepare for the upcoming school year.

The event took place at the Owen Branch of the Denver Boys & Girls Club, where our team members, along with our families, friends, and industry partners, gathered to pack the backpacks. It was an evening filled with camaraderie and joy as we came together for this meaningful community initiative.

This year’s event was another tremendous success. Our team rallied together to raise over $27,000 and pack more than 1,000 backpacks with essential school supplies. Through our team and our dedicated sponsor support over the past 12 years, we are proud to reach these exciting milestones:

  • – Surpassing over $200,000 in fundraising since the program’s inception
  • – Packing nearly 7,400 backpacks
  • – Supplying 188,000 pencils, 14,000 erasers, 21,700 glue sticks, and more!
