Keegan's Backpack Collection

the problem:

Keegan, a high school freshman from NY, had family that was affected by Hurricane Katrina. Keegan knew he had to do something to help kids in the south. He sent out an email announcement, set up donation bins and, in only three days, collected 200 backpacks from students at his school! With help from a sister and friends, Keegan stuffed backpacks with notebooks, pens, snacks, hand cream, baseball caps and rulers.
