WACO, TX— On July 20, The Carlson Law Firm gave out hundreds of backpacks with school supplies, compliant with Waco ISD policy. The Fourth Annual Waco Great Backpack Giveaway brought together more than 800 individuals from Waco and the surrounding areas.
Waco area students and their families received new backpacks and school supplies in preparation for back to school.
“This backpack giveaway gets bigger every year,” said Waco Partner, Dominic Braus. Our firm is built on helping people—especially families. If this event helps even one child start the school year with a smile and the supplies they need, then we’ve accomplished our mission. We wouldn’t be able to give back this way without the support and trust of the Waco community.”
The average family can expect to spend around $541 on school supplies and clothing for their kid’s upcoming school year, according to Nerd Wallet. The firm gave up to three backpacks to each family to help with back-to-school shopping.
“We love providing this kind of support to our Waco community,” said Managing Partner Craig Carlson. “Our firm has always been dedicated to being a resource for our community, so to see the level of turnout for one of our events shows that Waco knows The Carlson Law Firm is here to help.”
Families also celebrated a return to back-to-school mornings with Toda Madre Cravings’ mini-pancakes topped with a variety of fruits, candy and other treats. Carlson also had a giveaway for parents with a chance to win one of three gave $100 HEB gift card intended to help stock up with back-to-school lunches and snacks.
“There is a lot of planning that goes into putting on an event of this scale,” Braus said. “But seeing the excitement of the kids receiving their backpacks, getting pancakes and visiting the different game stations we have set up today makes it all worthwhile.”
The Carlson Law Firm is on a mission to assist a greater number of students in the upcoming academic year. Businesses in Waco can sponsor backpacks for local students all year round at carlsoncares.org/waco-backpacks. The Carlson Law Firm will match all donations.
