Backpacks for Kids has raised over $100,000 to purchase and fill backpacks for children with essentials such as pants, shirts, socks and shoes for the first day of school. Backpacks for Kids began in 2006, as a community outreach program for the Greater Tulsa Association of REALTORS
Children are chosen by Family & Children's Services of Tulsa. Each FULL backpack costs approximately $75.00. In early August, before the first day of school, the kids are treated with a pizza party where they receive their backpacks. Let's make this year amazing!
