Hundreds of Backpacks Donated to Kids at Charlestown Boys & Girls Club

STATE is a stylish new backpack brand that operates on an amplified buy-one, give-one model where for every bag purchased, one is hand-delivered to an American child living in an underfunded community. With the help of Hair Cuttery salons, STATE will donate hundreds of backpacks to kids at the Charlestown Boys & Girls Club.  STATE’s “GiveBackPack” program addresses the immediate needs of American children living in inner-city and under-resourced areas. The brand’s proprietary team of “PackMen” will lead a motivational rally that not only hand-delivers new backpacks to each child, but leaves the kids with a renewed spirit and belief in themselves- a new STATE of mind that will propel them to be agents of change in their communities and beyond. The PackMen are experienced child development specialists; their energetic and unique performance style is yet another reason why the “GiveBackPack” program is such a groundbreaking, inspirational initiative that has invigorated students in at-risk neighborhoods throughout the country.
