Helen Wells Agency Meets NASCAR Driver Tony Stewart!
Tony Stewart, an Indiana native and driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevy Impala in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, joined the Foundation on Thursday, July 22 to donate more than 5,000 backpacks to nonprofit organizations and schools in the Indianapolis area.
He is a two-time winner of the prestigious 400-mile race. Stewart is partnering with the Office Depot Foundation for the second year in a row and will help the organization donate more than 300,000 backpacks throughout the 2010 back-to-school season. “I am very proud to partner with the Office Depot Foundation again this year and to be able to help so many kids here in the Indianapolis area,” Stewart said. “This is a big year for the Office Depot Foundation because it is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its National Backpack Program, and I can tell you from experience how rewarding it is to see the look on these kids’ faces when they get a new backpack – it’s an automatic boost of confidence for them and helps them feel ready to take on the new school year just like everybody else. Of all the things I’ll do this weekend, participating in this program is definitely the most important.”
