The North Metro Association of REALTORS® is proud to host the Battle of the Brokerages Backpack Drive from April 1 through July 31, with a goal of collecting 1,000+ backpacks filled with school supplies for local students in need ahead of the new school year.
This friendly competition is more than just giving back—it’s your chance to get involved and win along the way. Each time you drop off a donation, you can enter your business card into a drawing for exciting prizes. We’ll be giving away a gift card each month, plus a grand prize at the end of the drive—so the more you donate, the more chances you have to win.
Drop-Off Location:

We’re currently collecting new and gently used items, including backpacks, loose leaf paper, crayons, markers, colored pencils, #2 Ticonderoga pencils, pencil pouches, glue sticks, highlighters, dry erase markers, composition notebooks, and 3-prong pocket folders.
Our mission is simple: to help equip over 1,000 local students with the supplies they need to start the school year confident, prepared, and ready to succeed.
Join us in making a difference—rally your office, give generously, and let the competition begin!
