Norden Leacox Accident & Injury Law is pleased to announce our annual “Project Backpack” charity event on Thursday, August 8th, 2024. It will be held during the “Meet the Teacher” night at Dover Shores Elementary School in Orlando, Florida. This marks our second year participating in this important initiative, following the success of our 2023 event at a different Central Florida school.

This year, Project Backpack aims to support Dover Shores Elementary, a school in Orange County that lacks adequate funding. We will provide backpacks filled with essential school supplies to ensure that students are ready and motivated for the upcoming school year.

Our firm is partnering with the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools (FOCPS). FOCPS supports the nation’s 8th largest public school system, which serves over 206,000 students across 202 schools. 

The FOCPS’s Strategic Plan focuses on many vital areas, including early childhood education, student achievement, teacher development, and community involvement. This aligns perfectly with Norden Leacox’s Project Backpack mission.
