Today is the FREE 2024 Verizon backpack giveaway!
Today, July 28th only, at 1 PM local time, and while supplies last, head into a participating Verizon Wireless Zone or TCC store where you may be able to snag a FREE backpack for your kiddo!
Unlike previous years, these backpacks will not include school supplies. There is a limit of one backpack per child, and your child must be present to receive it.
With over 1,000 locations participating, they plan to give away 120,000 backpacks. Backpacks are typically claimed very quickly, so if you are interested in snagging one, plan to arrive early!
To find the closest participating store, visit the TCC and Wireless Zone websites and select the “Find a Backpack Giveaway Near You” filter.
This year, 10 lucky students will also be “Golden Ruler” winners when they receive one of 10 backpacks at random stores around the country with a Golden Ruler keychain. The winners will score a $100 VISA gift card to purchase school supplies and $1,000 for their school (in the form of a $1,000 Amazon Wishlist buyout)! Awesome!
Hip Tip from reader Jenn: If you can’t get to one of these giveaways, check Facebook for back-to-school events. I have three huge ones in my area, one of which had 30k (yes, 30 THOUSAND) backpacks to give away with hygiene items and a few school supplies. A quick search shows a bunch more for the next couple of weekends. You may not be able to get everything needed, but it’s a good start!
Get ready for their first day with more hot deals on school supplies!
