Since 1999, BackPack Attack has collected more than 2.8 million school supplies for children in the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) as well as other schools in Marion, Boone, Hancock and Hendricks counties.

Did you know?

  • 80% of the families in the IPS can’t afford the basic school supplies that their children need.
  • Students with inadequate supplies suffer an unnecessary struggle to keep up with peers.
  • Many IPS teachers spend their own money to purchase these supplies for students.

Help us reach our goal for 2010!

  • 750,000 school supplies will be collected through 375 businesses and organizations in
    Central Indiana 
  • To get involved with the 2010 drive, you can donate supplies or
