Stuff the Backpack 2011 was a great success!

 

254 children received a backpack complete with school supplies at the annual BCDM "Stuff the Backpack" event, held on August 19th at St. Timothy's Catholic Church!! In addition, 62 children received free haircuts from the Southwest School of Business and Technical Careers students. Another 76 children had their fingerprints and DNA samples collected by Craig Damon and Rick Meuse with the San Antonio PoliceDepartment.  McGruff even paid the kids a special visit!  A big THANK YOU to all our volunteers who came out to help sutff the backpacks AND the Board members, and individuals who donated supplies, backpacks and money for this project!!!!!
