Prudential Fox and Roach, Realtors and The Trident Group is sponsoring its Sixth Annual Backpack Drive collecting backpacks filled with school supplies and other personal items.
Pictured here preparing to kick-off this year’s project are (l to r) President of Fox and Roach Charities and the Trident Group Gerry Griesser, Chairman and CEO of Prudential Fox and Roach, Realtors Larry Flick and Executive VP of Finance and Administration Jim Waters.
“We all take pleasure and pride in sponsoring this annual project, to provide children with these much-needed items for their upcoming school year,” Griesser said.
Since 2006, the company has collected over 3,400 backpacks and supplies for homeless/foster care children in the Tri-State. In 2010, the companies set a new record of more than 900 backpacks donated.
Fox and Roach Charities, a charitable foundation sponsored by Prudential Fox and Roach, REALTORS®, is coordinating this project with the company’s sales associates and employees and partnering with Five Below, L and J Moving and Storage, and Cradles to Crayons. Cradles to Crayons, (C2C), is a non-profit organization that provides, free of charge, the basic necessities to children living in low-income and homeless situations.
These backpacks will be collected and distributed by Cradles to Crayons, to children in need throughout the Tri-State area. Donations, from the general public, of backpacks and school supplies are welcome and can be dropped off at your local Prudential Fox and Roach office.
