Celebrating Another Successful Backpacks 4 Kids Drive!

We couldn't have done it without the generous support of our community partners. A special shout out to our Platinum Sponsor, Derek Teele Foundation to their unwavering commitment to the Backpacks 4 Kids cause. We can’t do what we do without this support. Thanks to your donations, BP4K was able to provide school supplies to four Title I schools in Pinellas County this year. We extend a huge thank you to the teachers, staff, and administration at Belcher Elementary, Maximo Elementary, Pinellas Park Middle School, and Woodlawn Elementary for their incredible commitment to excellence and hard work that goes into creating a positive educational experience, ultimately molding our children's futures.

Our Backpacks 4 Kids initiative remains a top priority and mission each year, and we are fortunate to continue this effort with the help of our community partners. Funding is imperative to continue supporting this mission. If you would like to get involved in supporting our local schools in need, please contact us at [email protected].

Meet Dr. Jason Shedrick! He’s the principal Park Middle and his excitement, and appreciation, inspired all who were there to witness it…and reminded us why BP4K was founded.

NAN Founders, Joni Pilgrim and Cari Pinkert, started the non-profit initiative, Backpacks 4 Kids, in 2013, to help provide local students in Title 1 schools with brand new backpacks stuffed with supplies to get them ready for the school year.

This year, BP4K donated 1,000 filled backpacks. The recipient schools were Pinellas Park Middle, 74th Street Elementary, Lakewood Elementary and Mount Vernon Elementary.

HUGE Shout Out to TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® for donating their delivery services.
