NCAA donates 4,000 backpacks for third-graders

Third-graders at 40 Houston ISD elementary schools will start off the new school year with brand new backpacks and school supplies, thanks to a generous donation from the NCAA.

Volunteers from Target spent Tuesday getting everything ready, and then on Wednesday volunteers from the beneficiary schools stuffed the backpacks full of notebooks, pencils, glue sticks and more.
