Pack the Backpack and help kids succeed!
Some of the world’s most inspiring people started with limited means... from Dolly Parton, who grew up in the Smoky Mountains with a “coat of many colours,” to Oprah Winfrey, who was lifted up by caring teachers and mentors.
Right here at home, there are students who face financial hurdles as they head back to school. But together, we can change that.
Join CFAM Radio 950, Country 88, and The Eagle 93.5 for the Sawatzky's Furniture & Appliance Pack the Backpack School Supply Drive powered by LG, September 3 & 4 at Superstore in Winkler.
We’ll be broadcasting live and collecting donations of new school supplies to ensure every student in the Western and Garden Valley School Divisions has what they need for a successful school year.
How you can help:
- Bring school supplies: backpacks, pencils, markers, binders, calculators, and more
- Make a monetary donation on-site or at the till
- Stop by to cheer on the drive and show your support for local kids
Let’s make sure every child has the tools to succeed and the chance to dream big, whether they want to be a doctor, a veterinarian, an astronaut… or even the Prime Minister!
