You know Q Country has a strong connection to the Backpack Program of the Food Bank of the Southern Tier.  They provide food for school kids on weekends and holiday when there might be no other food in the house.

The Backpack 500 is a new way to help this great cause.

On September 6th from 1-3PM, join Chris Allinger and Q Country friends on a team to fill as many backpacks in an hour the coveted “Pack-a-Thon Trophy” (and bragging rights)!

If you have the time to join our (clearly superior!!) team next Thursday between 1 and 3, contact Chris weekday mornings at 257-9769 or email wakeupq@037qcountry.com.

Be a part of the winning team for the Backpack 500!!!
