Another awesome School Rocks Backpack Giveaway in the books! Thank you to everyone who came out to our stores and for our amazing teams for planning these events. On Sunday, July 26, Wireless Zone stores across the country gave away free backpacks to thousands of students. See you next year!
Get a Golden Ruler and Win
Randomly selected attendees at Backpack Giveaway events nationwide will found a golden ruler keychain in their backpack—and scored $250 for school supplies.
Behind the Backpack
We know the back-to-school season can put a strain on families, especially when it comes to essential supplies like backpacks. With families spending an average of $858* on school items each year, even small costs can add up quickly. That’s why Wireless Zone is committed to helping students show up on their first day prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

Doing Good Year Round
At Wireless Zone, doing good and giving back in our local communities is part of who we are. This is just one of the many ways we give back throughout the year. Learn more about our giving here. And read about last quarter’s giveback event, Rescues Rock, here.
Do we sign up for the location we’d like to go to? Or do we just arrive with the student come July 26 @ 1p?
Hi Victoria! No sign up needed – just show up with your student on July 26! The backpacks are given away on a first come, first served basis, and some stores may get very busy. Please call your local store to get more details on their event!

You have this back pack give away why would you not have it available in Oregon your a huge company makes no sense at all why you would skip over my region. It’s not like you can’t afford it . This is why I don’t do business with companies like Verizon.
Hi Dan! This event is happening at Wireless Zone locations, a Verizon authorized retailer, and we do not have any stores in the Oregon area. However, we are partnering with TCC, another Verizon authorized retailer, to host this event, and we do have some TCC stores in the state. Please use the locator on TCC’s website to see if there are any events near you: https://locations.tccrocks.com/search.html?storeamenities=4594
