Help Students in Need Start The School Year Right

July 28, 2010 By FFCStaff


Want to help kids in need have a great start to the new school year? You can help by stopping by your local Remke bigg’s and participating in their Backpack Challenge.


In partnership with Fox19, Q102 and Time Warner Cable fourteen Remke bigg’s locations are collecting school supplies for well deserving students in the Tri-State. Customers can make a donation at any of the Remke bigg’s locations now through August 15, 2010. The goal is to fill 1,500 backpacks with school supplies.

Easy right?

In addition to the main collection, Remke bigg’s will be hosting special Backpack Challenge collection events in conjunction with Fox19 and Q102:

July 29, 6 a.m.-1 p.m.
Hyde Park Remke bigg’s, 3872 Paxton Avenue
Join us for Reds Day – lots of surprises with your donation.
The Fox19 Weather Team and Q102 Morning Producer Jennifer Fritsch will broadcast live, give away prizes and more.

August 5, 6 a.m.-1 p.m.
Delhi Remke biggs, 5025 Delhi Road
Join us for Cincinnati Zoo Day – lots of surprises with your donation.
The Fox19 Weather Team and Q102 Morning Producer Jennifer Fritsch will broadcast live and give away prizes.

We all remember how nervous we were as kids for the first day of school and more than likely we didn’t have to worry about school supplies.  This sounds like an easy way to really help a child have a great start to the school year.
