Save the date for the seventh annual Ultimate Backpack Supply Drive, presented by CoStar Group and hosted by the VCU Alumni Richmond Chapter.

Donate supplies to fill backpacks with school supplies for 30,000 students in the Richmond and Virginia Beach metro areas and patients at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU. With your help, we can give students the tools – and confidence – to excel in the classroom.
