In partnership with We've Got Your Back, Fort Payne Pediatrics is sponsoring for their second year, Operation Back to School! It's a fundraiser designed to help DeKalb County children who are currently in DHR custody. This fundraiser is specifically aimed at buying these children back to school clothing.

Our goal is to provide each of the 68 children starting school this year with a $200 gift card to purchase shirts, pants, shoes, and a jacket. Many of these children will not be able to have new back to school clothing without this assistance.

All fundraising progress is being shared on the Facebook page for Fort Payne Pediatrics. The deadline is August 1 for donations at the office or on their gofundme page. Thank you in advance for your donations!
