Summer Donor Giveaway

The Backpack Fund has received gift cards from local restaurants and a Cavs Swag Bag from the Cleveland Cavaliers to raffle off to our donors! Every $15 donated to The Backpack Fund will result in one entry into the raffle for our donors. The funds raised during the giveaway will be used to support our Supply Drop on August 14 and our scholarship. The raffle is a “thank you” to our donors who make our work at The Backpack Fund possible. 

    The gift cards will be awarded together as a single prize. The Cavs Swag Bag will be awarded as a separate prize. Thank you to the restaurants who donated gift cards and the Cleveland Cavaliers for supporting The Backpack Fund.
