Despite the cancellation of this year’s Polar Bear Ride, I am proud to announce that GCC was still able to donate $3000 to the Backpack Program. We had the amazing opportunity to visit the assembly line where the backpacks are personally filled by volunteers. Every month they distribute backpacks to approximately 800 children with the contributions from the community. Due to the pandemic this year has brought many challenges to students and parents. Programs such as this make it possible for children to still receive healthy meals over the weekends. Thank you to all our GCC members and sponsors whose generosity allows us to be apart of this program.
