Give A Kid A Backpack

The Divas braved one of Orlando's famous afternoon summer storms this Friday the 13th  -- we drove the cages! -- and headed out to the Amway Arena for a backpack stuffing event for Give A Kid A Backpack and HopeNow International.  These organizations put the call out to the community to help stuff and hand out 9,000 backpacks for a back-to-school event for struggling families in Central Florida.  The response was so overwhelming, that by the time we arrived  (the last day of the three-day event), everything was done but the stacking for the next day's distribution.  Central Florida volunteers, you rock!! 

No, we didn't take the short bus.

Backpack stacking

Time for a little goofing off.

Okay, a lot of goofing off.

(And this was before wings and beer were involved.)
