Backpacks Bring Bright Beginnings to Cape May Students

1 (2)

In August, The Cooper Foundation donated 100 backpacks at the CGC Love Center’s Youth Explosion event, helping students start the school year strong with the supplies they need to succeed.

This donation is part of a broader program program run by The Cooper Foundation. Each year, The Cooper Foundation teams up with KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy (KCNA) to provide every enrolled student with a new backpack and school supplies to start the school year off right. These items, tailored to the teachers’ requests, are shipped directly to the four KCNA schools in Camden for distribution on the first day of school. This year, the initiative has expanded to include Cape May students, extending the reach of this impactful program.
