8th Annual Backpack Giveback
August 17th, 2024
Providing 400 students with backpacks and school supplies....
Every year on Outreach Day, Driven calls upon their team, Ohio State alumni football players, and businesses to impact students while raising money for the school districts and local nonprofits.
Students get to experience a day of fun and learning, including readings from the Driven team, motivational assemblies, charity basketball games, a student food drive, Breakfast with the Buckeyes, and a barbecue. Since 2015, Outreach Day has raised $204,300.
During this year’s Outreach Day, 10 Ohio State alumni football players visited more than 6,000 students in the Hamilton and Whitehall local school districts. Through sponsorship funds from partner businesses, t-shirt and barbecue sales, donations, and auction profits, Driven raised over $25,000 for local schools and nonprofits this year.
Helping students become leaders in their schools and families starts by showing them a positive example. That's why Driven devotes time to meet and inspire students, sharing our experience about what we've overcome, and teaching students about honesty, character, and teamwork.
If you’re a business who wants to give back to your community, impact students, and raise money for your local school district, get in touch to learn how to sponsor an Outreach Day.
