Since 1999, Indy BackPack Attack has formed strategic community collaborations with Central Indiana organizations and businesses and has made it our mission to collect school supplies to provide children the tools they need to succeed in school. It's reported that 80% percent of the families in the Indianapolis Public Schools district (IPS) need help with basic school supplies. With the help of local organizations and businesses, Indy BackPack Attack has collected more than 3.5 million school supplies since 1999!

"We are thrilled to work with Indy Eleven and their fans for this public school supply drive," said Sara Griffin, co-chair of Indy BackPack Attack. "This collection event will help us in our effort to supply children with tools they need to be successful and allow us the opportunity to reach more deserving children throughout the school year."

"Indy Eleven players have been welcomed by students and faculty members at IPS schools with open arms from day one," said Indy Eleven Director of Community Relations Guy-Jo Gordon. "We're excited to partner with Indy BackPack Attack for our game on July 11 and strongly encourage our fans to help these deserving students and teachers who need an assist."
