Glenn,
The teams that participate will be busy with the competition but if and when you get a chance, look around at all the other opportunities that the event planners make available; it is really something. One of the things they do that is thoughtful and wonderful is that they keep the backpacks present as much as possible. In the past, they've lined the backpacks up under the tables that have the Silent Auction going on against one wall. They've also put them on the field as a quiet backdrop and presence during the awards/closing ceremony. It's like the backpacks are involved in the the event(s) with everyone, as a recognition of their importance and a thank you for all of the teams' generosity. Really neat. I always get a backpack put together and would be more than happy to get your team's ready for you guys and have it there for you, if you're accepted. Just send me a pm and let me know if I can help.

Jane
