Operation Backpack: Extended to August 10!

KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy’s student scholars are scheduled to begin the academic year on August 21, 2018. Last year, every student received a new backpack and school supplies through your generosity.

Friday, August 10, 2018, is the last day to turn in backpacks and school supplies to The Cooper Foundation or any of our Operation Backpack drop-off locations listed below. To arrange a drop-off, or a pick-up if you are at a non-drop-off location, please contact The Cooper Foundation at 856.342.2222 or email Mary Grace Perry at perry-marygrace@cooperhealth.edu.

Get Started Today:

  2. Fill a 17″ backpack with any or all of the supplies below.
  3. Maximize every dollar. Scour the sales and send bargain shoppers to the store!
  4. Take photos and share on social media. Use #OperationBackpack @CooperFDN.
