KNAPSACKS 4 SUCCESS
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” So stated Nelson Mandela. Sadly, many of the youth in today’s impoverished areas of our country don’t have the financial means to purchase the most basic supplies for attending school. Pencils, paper, notebooks, erasers . . . a necessity for many, are a luxury for these students. Knapsacks 4 Success is part of the answer, and allows participants the opportunity to provide these supplies to children in need. This is an exciting, competitive, and socially responsible experience that benefits our future members of society, struggling today. By the time the final bell rings, your participants will be filled with pride and joy, and maybe a few bits of trivia they never knew!
The Experience At A Glance
Knapsacks 4 Success starts off with an ice-breaking activity to get into the “good will” and “competitive” states of mind.
Teams earn the supplies to include in their knapsacks by collectively completing photo, video, and trivia challenges, using our iPad Minis, loaded with Premier Pursuits®, our proprietary app.
Each team member stuffs his/her own knapsack.
We believe that no team challenge is complete without some sort of live publicity presentation highlighting the team’s hard work, spirit, and collaboration. Your participants create and perform this presentation for their colleagues, often resulting in great laughs and thunderous applause for all.
Whenever possible, a representative from the philanthropic organization accepting your generous donation, on behalf of the individuals who will receive it, will address your group, providing a heart-warming, face-to-face acknowledgment of your hard work.
At the conclusion of the experience, your participants will certainly have an overwhelming desire to go back to school again!
