Back to School

2017 Back to School Sponsorship Program                                                             

 It is time once again for our Annual Back to School event! BCOC has more than 100 children who need help getting the supplies they need to have a successful school year! These children have a parent that is working hard to become self-sufficient. The children are always appreciative and proud of their new supplies and school clothes.

Sponsoring and shopping for a student is a fun and rewarding experience!

If you and/or your organization, small group, co-workers, neighbors, family, etc. would like to participate in this year’s Back to School program, there are two options to choose from:

Option #1—Sponsor a student (or students). Complete the online form by July 20th. We'll provide you with the student's school supply list, age, school, clothing sizes, and you can do the shopping! We ask that you provide each student with a new back pack, school supplies and/or gift cards to purchase supplies, clothing, and shoes. The costs of supplies vary by grade and school district, however the average cost to supply a child for school this year, including supplies, sports needs, shoes and clothing is approximately $200. All items are due to one of our offices by August 4th 2017, to allow time to process gifts and ensure they get to the families well before the start of the school year.  A paper application can be downloaded here.  

Option #2— Donate gift cards or make a financial donation to the Back to School program. Our coaches will provide families without sponsors with gift cards for their children's needs. Gift cards can be delivered to: BCOC, 100 Doyle Street, Doylestown, PA 18901, Attn: Back to School
