Pack the Back | North Charleston Chamber of Commerce

The average cost of school supplies per student in the Tri-County Area ranges from $55 to well over $95 depending on the grade level. Many children served at this event have little or no means to return to school with the proper supplies needed. This event will serve as a resource to help children feel comfortable and prepared going back to school. Our goal is the serve up to 1,500 children during this event with the average cost for school supplies and back packs for each student being $65. We are accepting Title Sponsors, Media Partners, product Donations, and Volunteer Groups to ensure success at this event. The event will also include a family friendly children’s fair open to the general public.

Pack the Back Event Sponsorship Benefits

Elite Tax Group & our featured partner the North Charleston Chamber of Commerce invite you to become a sponsor for the fourth annual “Pack the Back- Back to School Event” to benefit underprivileged children in our community. For many children, it is the first time in their life where they can have a positive interaction with local city offices and business owners. In addition to fostering positive relationships with our community, children will be given the school supplies needed to begin their school year. This will not only help with their self-confidence but show them that there are people in the community who want to see them succeed and know that they matter. In addition to this positive impact, your business will also benefit from recognition of supporting a charitable community event.
