A
We
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
bts
asset
management.
They
are
a
major
sponsor
of
this
event.
They
provide
25
000
to
make
this
happen.
So
there's
so
many
people
in
this
community
who
come
together,
who
partnered
to
to
really
do
the
best
to
start
these
kids
out
right.
B
It's
great
that
these
backpacks
are
going
to
be
packed,
they're
going
to
be
at
the
kroc
center
and
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
we're
going
to
have
another
great
day
at
the
kroc
center,
because
we're
going
to
distribute
these
backpacks
to
kids
from
all
around
the
city.
So
we're
anticipating
about
7,
000
kids
coming
over
and
getting
backpacks
on
august
28th,
and
so
we're
very
excited
about
that
and
we're
eagerly
looking
forward
to
it.
An.
C
Event
like
this,
it
helps
prepare
the
young
kids.
Our
young
kids
in
the
city
of
boston,
for
school,
for
on
the
first
day
of
school
they'll
be
ready
to
go,
and
I
think
it's
just
it's
a
great
gesture,
get
them
into
the
mindset.
C
You
know
we're
fortunate
in
boston
have
great
sports
teams
that
are
really
invested
in
our
young
people
in
the
city
of
boston
and
an
event
like
today
and
having
the
backpacks
ready
for
the
kids
to
start
the
school
year
and
it's
always
exciting
the
beginning
of
a
school
year,
and
I
think,
with
the
help
from
today,
really
get
them
on
the
right
track.
Starting
day.
