SWB Youth Foundation has set up a GoFundMe account to raise funds to supply ALL Freestone County kids, grades 3rd through 11th with a backpack filled with supplies and goodies to encourage them during their STAAR tests.
The supplies are used during STAAR testing to help motivate and encourage the students to do well.
Generally, SWB (Smith with Brackens) delivers approximately 2,500 backpacks to eight campuses around the County.
If you would like to donate to the cause, visit www.gofundme.com and search SWB STAAR Backpacks.
Their goal is to raise $5,000. As of 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 12th, the balance is $900.
Deadline for donations is mid December 31st. Backpacks will be delivered in January.
For more information, contact Candace Brackens.
