3rd Annual Debbie Dee Backpack Drive

Carter Media and High Aspirations are hosting the 3rd Annual Debbie Dee Backpack Drive on Friday, July 26 from 6am-6pm at High Aspirations in Kansas City. CM and HA will accept new backpacks to benefit High Aspirations and other local male mentoring programs in the Kansas City area.

"The Debbie Dee Backpack Drive is very important to me, because I want our young men to have the necessary items to start the school year successfully," said Gospel 1590 & 106.1 FM morning personality Debbie Dee. "With the rising prices of school supplies, I want to help parents eliminate at least one back to school expense."

"Our mission is to seek ways to place young men on the path toward becoming successful members of society. We are elated to collaborate with our community partners. We believe every student should have a backpack," added High Aspirations President, CEO & Founder Henry W. Wash, MPA.

"Carter Media is excited about our partnership with High Aspirations. The backpack drive fits the core values and mission of our organization. It's our responsibility to serve our community thru outreach and to support local causes," said Operations Manager Myron D. Fears.

Listeners and supporters can drop off new backpacks at High Aspirations. Members of High Aspirations, Gospel 1590 & 106.1 FM, Hot 103 Jamz and RNB 106.9 FM/103.3 HD2 personalities and partners will be on-site to collect backpacks.
