Sammy's Backpacks Sammy's Backpacks is a Sault Ste Marie community initiative founded in 2021 by Sam and Brigette Graham to honor their late son Sammy Jr. This is our 5th year.

The program provides fully stocked backpacks to schools on our area for children from K to Grade 12. In memory of our beloved son, Sammy Graham, who was tragically taken from us on November 12, 2020, my wife and I founded Sammy’s Backpacks. Our program provides fully stocked backpacks with essential school supplies to children from kindergarten through 12th grade, ensuring every student starts the school year equipped to succeed. Sammy’s kind spirit and love for helping others inspire us to carry forward his legacy through this initiative. Each backpack includes grade-appropriate supplies like notebooks, pencils, folders, and more, tailored to support students in their education. As we continue to seek justice for Sammy in an ongoing court case, this program keeps his memory alive by making a difference in our community, one child at a time. If you are interested in help us honor Sammy by:

Donating Supplies: Contribute new backpacks or school supplies. Making a Gift: Financial support helps us purchase quality materials. Volunteering: Join us in packing and distributing backpacks. Sharing Our Mission: Spread the word to friends, family, or local businesses.
