Summer is just beginning, but The Cooper Foundation is on a mission!
Do you remember the excitement of getting a new backpack for school? Cooper is teaming up once again with our partner school to provide backpacks to every student scholar enrolled at KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy!
Here’s how it works:
- Organize your coworkers to collect donations.
- Fill a 17-inch backpack with any or all of the supplies listed below.
- Scour the sales and send bargain shoppers to the store to maximize every dollar!
- Drop off backpacks and supplies at the following locations now through August 7, 2019, at:
- Camden: Cooper University Hospital, Roberts Pavilion, Cooper Solutions Center office.
- Camden: The Cooper Foundation, Sheridan Pavilion, Three Cooper Plaza, Suite 500.
- Voorhees: 900 Centennial Boulevard, Building 1, front reception desk.
- Camden for curbside drop off: Sheridan Pavilion, Three Cooper Plaza, please call the Foundation at 856.342.2222 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. We will meet you in the horse-shoe driveway to collect your backpacks.
Take photos!
Gather your coworkers and take photos of the backpacks and supplies you’ve collected. We’ll compile the photos to share on social media. Email your pictures to Catherine Hardesty at hardesty-catherine@cooperhealth.edu or post on social media using #OperationBackpack @CooperFoundation.
