Give Backpack

About

Give Backpack is a CSR team-building activity in which teams complete various engaging challenges to fill a backpack for the homeless. The fun, engaging and sometimes challenging tasks are delivered to each team via a tablet. Teams enter their answers, including photos and videos of their exploits. On successfully completing challenges, teams are rewarded with items to fill their backpacks. Items include non-perishable food and toiletries. Layout and practicality for the backpack are key; the teams must meet the criteria set out at the program's start. Once the backpacks are complete, the champion team is revealed! The winning team is awarded an additional donation to a B1G1 worthy cause. The filled backpacks are donated to a local shelter for the homeless.
