Some 2,700 free backpacks and school supplies for kids in need are set to be given away Saturday morning at the Ninth Annual Badges & Backpacks.
Banner/Aetna is teaming up with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department to provide 2,700 free backpacks and school supplies for kids in need at the Ninth Annual Badges & Backpacks.
“This is a one-stop shop to help get kids ready for school. It makes it easy to get medical concerns taken care of and helps parents and families out so they don’t need to worry about backpacks and supplies for the upcoming school year,” said Detective Brittany Abarr, coordinator of the event. Attendees can enjoy coupons for free haircuts and free meals as well as visits with University of Arizona Mascots Wilbur and Wilma, Disney princesses, Arizona Ghostbusters and Star Wars characters.
The event provides opportunities for positive networking between first responders and the community, according to Abarr.
