B-Wap

From the beginning, it has been Backpacks with a Purpose®’s mission to meet needs when they find them. The first B-WAP® backpack was made in 2002 as a direct response to the needs of the Urban Mission in Oklahoma City. They needed high-quality, affordable children’s backpacks with a classic design to distribute through their back-to-school programs. Since then, through partnerships with hundreds of nonprofit organizations, over 1 million Classic BWAP backpacks have been distributed to students who need them most. Now, we are increasing our impact by inviting others to join with us in giving back. B-WAP launched its retail line of backpacks July of 2012. These retail backpacks are designed for adults and built to last for students. When you purchase a B-WAP backpack, two B-WAP backpacks will be donated to a local or international nonprofit, of your choice, working directly with at-risk kids.
