Promotional accessories wholesaler Bag Warehouse has teamed up with the Roc Solid Foundation to help victims of pediatric cancer. Bag Warehouse has created new Imprinted Duffel Bags for Roc Solid’s Ready-Bag initiative, which helps families with children battling the cancer.
It’s a cause close to Roc Solid founder Eric Newman’s heart, as he was diagnosed with pediatric cancer at the tender age of three. While he knows all too well the toll the disease can take on its victims and their families, he hopes the Ready-Bag scheme will help “soften the blow.”
Bag Warehouse’s new duffels aren’t exactly the height of fashion, but they’re filled with items for both parents and their children to use during treatment. Each one has everything from preloaded debit cards to pay for gas and medical expenses and quarters for the vending machines to pens and paper, coloring books, and even a Kindle to pass the long hours in hospital. And of course there’s the bag which makes a perfect weekender for those extended stays.
Bag Warehouse President Mark Ditteaux says his company has been blessed to thrive during recent tough economical times, so he wanted to give something back. He’s committed to helping the Ready-Bag program become a huge success in the coming years.
