SAP Volunteers Pack 1,000 School Bags for Children in Need

By Kate Dieffenbach


On August 8, 26 SAP employees ventured to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia for the annual Cradles to Crayons “Backpack-A-Thon”.  Cradles to Crayons is an organization that provides everyday essentials, warm clothes, shoes, books, and school supplies to homeless and low-income children.  Nearly 500 volunteers from 22 different companies and organizations worked together to pack a grand total of 20,000 backpacks, filling them with much needed school supplies. The SAP team of volunteers joined forces and packed close to 1,000 backpacks in less than two hours!  The backpacks will be donated to children in homeless and low-income circumstances living in the greater Philadelphia region.
Congratulations and thank you to all of our volunteers!
