Big Z Foundation Back-to-School Backpack Drive 

From July 1 – August 1, the Big Z Foundation will be collecting school supplies to provide backpacks for children attending school within the hospital, as well as their school-aged siblings. As families navigate the challenges of a catastrophic childhood illness, preparing for a new school year can become one more overwhelming task.

Shop our Back-to-School Wish Lists

You can help by donating needed school supplies. Items may be purchased from our wish lists and shipped directly to the Big Z Foundation or dropped off at one of our host locations.
