Cradles to Crayons Backpack Challenge 2021 Results

16th Annual Backpack Challenge Results

$115,625 Donated | 6,390 Filled Backpack Provided to Help Get Children Ready for Learning

“Wow! In the second Ready for Learning in a pandemic, everyone at BHHS Fox & Roach/Trident went the extra mile to help us realize our ambitious goal of helping 50,000 children this year. You brought the drive you exhibit in your business life to benefit some of the neediest children in the region. With school supplies in short supply and costing up to 32% more than last year, your fantastic results will ensure success for another cohort of children. Instead of a few basic items in a plastic bag, 50,000 kids will have sturdy backpacks filled to the brim with the recommended list from the Philadelphia School District.

 

We thank you, and the kids we serve thank you.”

“On behalf of Community Bike Works, I would like to thank the good people at Fox & Roach for their generous back to school donation. As an active youth mentor at CBW, I know that these bags and supplies will go a long way to our families who needed a jumpstart for the 2022 school year. We all know the pandemic put a lot of families in financial hardships and anything that can relieve a little financial stress goes along way. As a father myself, I know how essential school supplies are to succeed in school and I know our families are grateful. Thank you again Fox & Roach for your kind hearts and helping our community reach their goals.”

You Crushed It!

Thank you BHHS Fox & Roach and The Trident Group sales associates, employees, executives, families, friends, clients and sponsors who came together to break the goal for this year’s backpack drive. With an audacious goal to raise $100,000, you came up big by donating $115,625 allowing us to provide 6,390 filled backpacks to children in stressful circumstances throughout Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania!

Thanks also go out to the volunteers from BHHS Fox & Roach/Trident who visited the Cradles to Crayons’ Giving Factory and helped to fill over 10,000 backpacks to date in just 14 hours (7 sessions of 2 hours). A big thank you as well to the BHHS Fox & Roach Executive team for a matching donation of $7,900 to purchase an additional 395 backpacks!

Since 2006, the BHHS Fox & Roach/Trident family has donated over 52,900 backpacks & supplies and more than $679,000
