Berea Elks #1815 Donate 100 Backpacks & Supplies To Berea City Schools

Berea Elks Lodge #1815 recently donated 100 cusom-made backpacks stuffed with a full year’s worth of school supplies to Berea-Midpark Middle School. The purple and orange backpacks emblazoned with the Titan’s logo were loaded with every school supply an incoming 5th grader would need to get through the school year.

In all, more than $6,500 in supplies were donated to the school on behalf of the Elks. The funds were made poossible by a super-sized Beacon Grant from the Elks National Foundation (ENF).

Elks members stuffed every backpack and then hand delivered them to the school. This is the second year the lodge has run this program that benefits nearly 1 of every 3 5th grade students entering the year.
