Prudential Georgia Realty once again held its Annual Backpack Challenge to benefit area needy children. The sixth year this fund-raising drive has been held, the company collected 431 filled backpacks to benefit such organizations as the CHRIS Kids, Lumpkin Family Connection, M.U.S.T. Ministries, Children’s Restoration Network and Jackson County DFACS.

That total puts Prudential Georgia Realty’s backpack contributions over the 2,000 mark, with 2,156 backpacks collected in the program’s six-year history.

Prudential Georgia Realty President and CEO, Dan Forsman, has been pleased with the success of the Backpack Challenge. “The first year we collected backpacks it was never with any goal or idea of longevity. However, we quickly realized we were filling a definite need in metro Atlanta. Our sales associates also enjoyed shopping for these school supplies, often making it a family affair, and so we committed to making this an annual-fundraiser.”

Law firm and alliance partner McCalla, Raymer as well as Office Depot, Supply Specialties, Vee Kelley and Xerographic all made donations to Prudential Georgia Realty’s Backpack Challenge.
