Some businesses measure success in billable hours. George and Andrea Telquist measure it in backpacks.
When they founded Telare Law in Richland, Washington, they made a commitment not just to their clients — but to the Tri-Cities community and the families who call it home. That commitment gave rise to The Backpack Project, Telare Law’s annual back-to-school initiative, providing backpacks and essential school supplies to students across Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland who need them most.
What started as a small local project quickly revealed a much larger need. So they grew. To date, thousands of backpacks have been distributed to Tri-Cities students — and every year, the effort expands.
For George and Andrea, this isn’t a marketing campaign — it’s personal. They believe a child’s financial circumstances should never limit what they’re able to achieve in the classroom. Every backpack is a direct investment in the future of this community.
Because the Tri-Cities has given so much to them — it’s only right to give it back.
The Backpack Project is a celebration of community, and we want to make it a day families remember. Come enjoy FREE Kona Ice for kids and parents, and enter our raffle projects for a chance to win great prizes.
Come for the supplies, stay for the fun — everyone is welcome.
