We’re excited to kick off our very first Project Backpack!
We’re thrilled to help students in our Chicago community by providing some of the essential tools to learn, grow, and strive for excellence! Our backpacks are filled with great gear, so students will be set for a fun and awesome school year!
We are grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community we love so much.
“I believe students can reach any goal they set for themselves if they have the tools they need to succeed. However, far too many Chicago area students simply don’t have those basic tools – essential school supplies. That’s why I’m thrilled to provide backpacks filled with school supplies to as many students as I can.” – Attorney Larry Disparti
Why Project Backpack?
Unfortunately, thousands of Chicago area school children go without backpacks and the essential supplies they need to succeed in school. Larry Disparti recognizes how this can be a barrier to a student’s learning. That’s why he’s setting out on a mission to get backpacks and school supplies into the hands of children in Chicago.
With the help and support of generous volunteers ready to deliver 2500 backpacks to students, this first ever Project Backpack is primed for success.
