The Backpack Challenge is in full swing, and we would like to give a big thank you to Five Below for their continued sponsorship and generosity towards the challenge.

This year, Five Below donated 28,256 backpacks across ten cities nationally. Because of their contribution, thousands of foster care youth across the United States will be more fully prepared for the upcoming school year. In Philadelphia, Five Below customers donated 6,696 backpacks in just two weeks – wow!
