18th Annual Backpack Challenge

The need is greater than ever

Now in its 18th year, the Annual Backpack Challenge has become a important tradition within BHHS Fox & Roach and The Trident Group. Since 2006, our sales professionals, employees, and management have donated more than 58,000 backpacks and supplies, totaling more than $776,000, for unhoused and low-income children across Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Our commitment to the communities in which we live and work is the hallmark of the BHHS Fox & Roach family of companies.

Cradles to Crayons’ Ready for Learning initiative sets students up for success by providing learning essentials to 50,000 children in our market region—free of charge. These supplies are distributed through 180+ area social services agency partners, serving kids in the most vulnerable living situations. All donations will be directed to the communities we serve (2022 recipients)

Your $20 donation will give a child a new, filled backpack to start the year and keep that backpack full with enough supplies for the entire school year. A child who is ready for learning, given the necessary supplies for the entire school year, is a child who is prepared to achieve. Please help us and the children across our communities get the much needed basic supplies and backpacks to return to the 2023-2024 school year!
