Oskaloosa, IA – July 30, 2016: Parents and student in Oskaloosa will soon benefit from a national backpack giveaway campaign. A Wireless, the nation’s second-largest Verizon Premium Retailer, announces today that they are partnering with Culture of Good to donate 100,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children through the annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway. Since 2013, Culture of Good has donated more than 360,000 backpacks filled with supplies to ensure children are well prepared for the start of the school year.

More than 760 participating A Wireless stores across the U.S. are inviting local families and their children to visit these select locations on Saturday, July 30 between noon and 3 p.m. to pick up a backpack filled with various school supplies; including pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders and glue. One backpack per child present will be given away on a first-come, first served basis while the supplies last.

Oskaloosa, A Wireless store in Oskaloosa is located at 209 Cornerstone Dr., Suite E, Oskaloosa, IA 52577. Each participating A Wireless store will donate 125 backpacks. Any leftover backpacks will be donated to local schools. A Wireless hopes that this program will help alleviate the average cost of $97.74 on school supplies that the average person with children spends each school year on these supplies. With over 16 million children in the U.S. living in poverty, A Wireless hopes to help give some relief to some of these families.

“When given the opportunity, doing good is important, and taking such opportunities to help, lift up, and encourage others is a privilege,” said Bryan Bevin, president and CEO of A Wireless. “At A Wireless we don’t just want to be doers of good, we want to inspire a Culture of Good.”
