TCC stores set backpack giveaways in Rehoboth and Millsboro July 30

July 10, 2016

Deserving young students in Rehoboth Beach will soon benefit from a national backpack giveaway campaign. TCC, the largest Verizon Authorized Retailer in the U.S., announces that A Wireless is partnering with the company and its Culture of Good to donate 235,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children through TCC's annual School Rocks Backpack Giveaway. Since 2013, TCC has donated more than 360,000 backpacks filled with supplies to ensure children are well prepared for the start of the school year.

Between noon and 3 p.m. Saturday, July 30, the TCC store in Rehoboth Beach at 37156 Rehoboth Ave. and the TCC store in Millsboro at 28665 Dupont Blvd. are inviting local families to bring their children to the store to pick up a backpack filled with pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders, glue and more. Each participating TCC store will donate 250 backpacks. One backpack per child present will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. More than 1,300 participating TCC and A Wireless stores are participating nationwide.

"Every year, TCC employees and communities around the country look forward to the backpack giveaway," said Scott Moorehead, CEO of TCC. "It brings our employees immense joy to give back to the young children in their communities, and we are proud to put so many smiles on the faces of the deserving families who have made this annual event such a success."

"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. "At A Wireless we don't just want to be doers of good, we want to inspire a Culture of Good." In 2015, the National Retail Federation predicted the average person with children in grades K-12 would spend $97.74 on school supplies such as notebooks, pencils and backpacks. With more than 16 million children in the U.S. living in poverty, TCC is working to alleviate the rising costs of school supplies through this annual program.
