Eagle Scout Project

My name is Timothy Doody.  I am almost 15 years old and I have a huge desire to help others.  My Eagle Scout project is the collection of 250 backpacks filled with school supplies to give to needy children.

These supplies will benefit those who are too poor to even afford a proper backpack.  You may not think there are many needy students in schools, bu there are about 200 needy students in one local elementary school alone and there are more than 23 schools I am trying to help.

To help these children I am asking for a donation of either cash or school supplies.  The cash will be used to buy more school supplies and 100% of ANY donation will go to he needy children.

Papa Murphy's is helping me and has put up a donation box for you to drop off new school supplies.  If you want to give a monetary gift, please ask for the manager.  ANY donation would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time and I hope that you can help me help these children.
