These Packs Hold Hope

Can a backpack help create meaningful connections that elevate lives? When a SanMar customer came to us and suggested a new way we could fulfill this purpose by supporting organizations that have the greatest impact, that idea soon became our Charity Tech Packs.

These versatile, durable backpacks are made of recycled polyester and built to be used for the daily commute or travel. Best of all, a portion of sales will support two worthy organizations known for their charitable work across the country.

For each pack purchased, SanMar will donate $5 to either the American Red Cross or the American Cancer Society.

These packs are the perfect product that crosses all industries, one size really does fit all. We wanted to tell this story and get these charities out there, while giving businesses a broader opportunity to lean into charitable giving with a pack that’s both sustainable and durable.”

  • Over 140 years of compassionate service
  • About 65,000 disaster responses every year
  • More than 230 chapters providing relief across the United States

American Cancer Society Charity Tech Pack

Support for the American Cancer Society contributes to their ongoing mission to provide opportunities to prevent, detect, treat and survive cancer of all kinds, and to someday end cancer as we know it for everyone.

The hope we carry with us is the hope we hold. Through simple actions, we can give that hope to those who need it most. We hope that you’ll join us in supporting these two respected organizations in their efforts to help others.
