School is out. Summer is just beginning. But we are on a mission! Operation Backpack is under way – now to August 1, 2016.
Cooper is teaming up once again with its neighborhood school to provide backpacks to every student scholar enrolled at KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy! Last year, more than 300 students received backpacks and school supplies through your generosity.
This year, KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy’s student scholars are scheduled to begin the academic year on August 15. Now we need your help! We have just a few weeks for you to help us exceed last year’s collection!
Here’s how it works:
1. Organize your coworkers to collect donations.
2. Fill a 17″ backpack with any or all of the supplies below.
3. Scour the sales and send bargain shoppers to the store, maximizing every dollar for a great cause!
4. Take photos! We want to see you shopping! Use #OperationBackpack @CooperFDN on social media.
5. Drop off backpacks and supplies at any of the following locations NOW through Monday, August 1, 2016, at:
▪ Cooper University Hospital, Roberts Pavilion, 1st Floor – Cooper Solutions Center office.
▪ MD Anderson Cooper – Two Cooper Plaza, front reception area.
▪ Voorhees – 900 Centennial Boulevard, Building 1, front reception area.
▪ L3 CCBO – 1 Federal Street, 2nd Floor, Patient Accounting reception area.
