Thanks for a great event!
TCC hosted our 13th annual School Rocks Backpack giveaway on Sunday, July 27. Our stores across the country handed out free backpacks to students of all ages.





Plus, we crowned our Stuff the Bus winner!
During the month of June, five school finalists around the country competed to win a bus full of school supplies. The community that collected the most donations received a bus full of supplies, and all 5 finalists received the school supplies collected during their respective drive.
Congratulations to our Stuff the Bus winner:

Behind the Backpack
We know that sending kids to school each year is expensive, and backpacks can be one of the priciest supplies! According to the National Retail Federation, families spend about $875* on school supplies. With one in six school aged children living in poverty, TCC wants to help alleviate some of the stress of back-to-school time and help your kids show up to their first day prepared, confident, and ready to do great things.

At TCC, doing good and giving back in our local communities is part of who we are. This is just one of the many ways we give back throughout the year. Learn more about our giving here. And read about last quarter’s giveback event, Rescues Rock, here.
