Rob Young & Steve Kendrick/Back to School Backpack Program
May is not usually the time of year you think about giving generously. But it is the perfect time to consider helping Subaru of Gwinnett and Infiniti of Gwinnett do just that. The Back to School Backpack Program is a non-profit charity that works to provide necessary school supplies and backpacks to children in Gwinnett County who are in need. This is a charity that is near and dear to our hearts.
When Steve K. Kendrick, Executive General Manager of Infiniti of Gwinnett and Subaru of Gwinnett, found out that Gwinnett County would have more than 5,000+ homeless children attending school, he asked his employees if they could all get behind the effort to help provide these children with something that would give them hope, trust and self-esteem for the future. From this, the Back to School Back Pack Program was launched in 2007. Each as the need has grown we have risen to meet the challenge. But we can’t do it alone!
That is where you come in. The 11th Annual Back to School Backpack Program Golf Classic will take place on Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at Bears Best Golf Course in Suwanee.
