Hammer’s Great Backpack Giveaway August 3rd, 2024

We’re bringing thousands of backpacks filled with school supplies for children who need them to McFerran Preparatory Academy on August 3, 2024!

Isaacs and Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers are partnering with Stock Yards Bank for the second annual “Hammer’s Great Backpack Giveaway!” event. Created by Darryl “The Hammer” Isaacs, the event will take place on Saturday, August 3^rd at 10am – 12pm at McFerran Preparatory Academy, where 5,000 backpacks filled with school supplies will be given to children and families in need of them.

About The Event

15 million children come from families who can’t afford school supplies. That number grows every year, with parents and teachers doing their best as costs continue to rise. “Attending school is free,” says Isaacs, “but that doesn’t include the cost of supplies. Those supplies can make the all the difference in achieving success, acceptance, and a well-rounded education.”

The goal of Hammer’s Great Backpack Giveaway is to provide 3,000 children with backpacks filled with educational necessities to give them their best school experience, while freeing parents and teachers of the financial burdens that come with providing those advantages.

James Hillebrand, Chairmen & CEO of Stock Yards Bank & Trust, is excited to be part of the event. “A financial institution is only as strong as its community,” he said, “and I can think of no better investment in success for the future than giving kids what they need to succeed today. These students are the next generation of community leaders, and it is important for them to feel confident going into the new school year. We hope this support helps to alleviate some of the financial burden for parents and inspires a love for learning in each student.”
