Round Room, LLC., the nation’s largest Verizon authorized retailer, has announced that its TCC and Wireless Zone stores will donate 140,000 backpacks full of school supplies in its 10th annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway.
Between 1 and 4 p.m. July 31, more than 1,200 TCC and Wireless Zone nationwide stores are inviting local families to pick up a backpack filled with pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders, a ruler and glue. One backpack per child present will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
The School Rocks Backpack Giveaway has provided more than 1.2 million backpacks full of school supplies to children across the U.S.
Families can also enter their students in a sweepstakes to win a $10,000 college scholarship through the giveaway’s Big Impact. Children in grades K-12 are eligible for entry and can register at local TCC and Wireless Zone stores during the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway event. Five scholarships in total will be awarded to randomly selected winners.
According to the National Retail Federation, American families with school-aged children spent an average of $849.90 on school supplies in 2021 — totaling $37.1 billion spent in America last year on school supplies alone. Round Room is working to ease the strain of rising school supply costs with this annual program through its TCC and Wireless Zone stores nationwide.
TCC Coeur d'Alene is at 430 W. Hanley Ave. TCC Post Falls is at 3760 E. Seltice Way.
Leftover backpacks will be donated to local schools of each store’s choice.
