In preparation for the upcoming academic year, Round Room, LLC., the nation’s largest Verizon Authorized Retailer, has announced its 11th annual “School Rocks Backpack Giveaway.” Through this initiative, the company’s TCC and Wireless Zone retailers will donate a staggering 120,000 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to children across the United States. Since its inception in 2013, the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway has already provided more than 1.3 million backpacks to young students in need.
On Sunday, July 30, starting at 1 p.m. local time, over 1,000 TCC and Wireless Zone stores nationwide will be welcoming local families to their locations to collect a backpack brimming with supplies, including pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders, a ruler, and glue. The giveaways will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis, with one backpack per child present. Any excess backpacks at the events will be generously donated to local schools, chosen by each participating store.

“The School Rocks Backpack Giveaway is our company’s cornerstone annual event, and I couldn’t be more thankful for our store locations, employees and customers for helping us continue to do good in the thousands of communities we operate in,” said Scott Moorehead, CEO of Round Room. “The start of the school year is an exciting time for many, and we look forward each and every year to make school supplies more accessible for students so they can thrive in the classroom.”
According to the National Retail Federation, American families with school-aged children spent an average of $864 on school supplies in the previous year, amounting to a staggering $36.1 billion spent on school supplies in the United States alone. In response to these rising costs, Round Room, through TCC and Wireless Zone, endeavors to alleviate the burden and provide much-needed support to families through the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway.
Round Room, LLC currently operates 1,248 TCC and Wireless Zone wireless retail stores across 43 states. The company is committed to improving and actively participating as a key partner in the thousands of communities they serve nationwide. This dedication has been recognized, as Round Room was honored in Inc. Magazine’s Best in Business in 2022, acknowledging the extraordinary impact the company has made in its industry.
