WHAT: Just in time for back-to-school, NewPark Mall and Nessa with Wild 94.9 radio station will be collecting backpacks for Tri-City area children at The Wild Backpack Drive held at the shopping center. The community is invited to donate a new backpack for underprivileged youth as well as enter-to-win an iPad Mini and a chance to win other cool prizes. The nonprofit organization, The League of Volunteers (LOV) will allocate the donated backpacks to needy children.
Founded in 1979, LOV's mission is to promote volunteerism and enhance the quality of life in the Tri-Cities area of Fremont, Newark and Union City and to meet the needs of youth, senior citizens and the needy. The multi-service agency fills a gap left by cutbacks in school funding.
NewPark Mall is offering cash back to customers. Shoppers will receive a $10 gift card and additional discounts to Aeropostale, Claire’s, Cotton On or The Children’s Place when they spend at least $150 at NewPark Mall stores during August 16 – 23 (one gift card per person while supplies last). All receipts must reflect purchases made at NewPark Mall during the designated promotional dates. Valid identification must be presented to receive gift card.
