WASHINGTON – As schools begin to prepare to welcome students back to their classrooms, families are starting their back-to-school supply shopping. For families in need, Maverick Cares is hosting a “back-to-school” giveaway for its annual August charitable event so that elementary, middle and high school students have the supplies (and backpacks) for the 2024-25 school year. Since its founding in 2019, employee-led Maverick Cares has hosted regular charitable events at Maverick Gaming properties statewide and engaged in local community partnerships in support of local families.
Kits will be distributed while supplies last at participating Maverick Gaming locations (listed below). Backpacks and supplies for elementary, middle and high school students will include: red stick pens, highlighters, permanent black markers, protractors, college ruled composition notebooks, scissors (sharp), ruled filler paper, Crayola markers, #2 pencils, colored pencils, rulers, scissors (blunt), glue sticks, erasers, Crayola crayons, pocket folders, pencil boxes.
“Inflation has made the required supplies for school more expensive than ever and our team is proud to help families worry about one less household expense as their students return to the classroom,” said Maverick Gaming CEO and co-founder Eric Persson. “I’m proud of our team for coming together to organize this event and I’m hopeful that our efforts will help students across the state come prepared for school this Fall.”
