The Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury, in partnership with Harkins Theatres and Coca-Cola, will host their eighth annual “Back-to-School Backpack Drive” on Saturday, July 28 at two Valley Harkins Theatres locations. Fans will receive two FREE Harkins Theatres Ultimate VIP movie passes in exchange for a backpack donation filled with school supplies, including crayons, spiral notebooks, pencils, glue sticks and the like.
The annual initiative will benefit Playworks, a local non-profit organization dedicated to improving the school and learning environment to ensure that Valley children experience a successful start to their school year. Backpacks will be collected at two Valley Harkins Theatres locations on Saturday, and a number of Suns & Mercury personalities, along with The Gorilla and members of the Solar Squad, will be on hand to interact with fans at each Harkins Theatres location.
