It’s getting more expensive to equip a child with their school essentials each year. Gap Factory Store in Casper is hoping to help by offering you a discount when you donate a backpack, school supplies or a monetary gift. According to the Huntington Backpack Index, in the last decade, the price of supplies and fees have increased 88% for elementary students.

Between July 31 – August 13, 2017, you can make your donations at Casper’s Gap Factory Store located at 455 Newport Street and receive 10% off your purchase at Gap. All school supplies and backpacks will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming. Monetary donations are split 50/50 between Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
