Old School Bags

I have about 25 messenger and backpacks, most of them never used. (bought them on sale and then the school made a no backpack rule) Is there anywhere I can send them to be donated? I really don't want to give them to good will or salvation army is there anywhere that gives school bags to thee needy?

I have been sending school supplies but the kids have no shoes, let alone bookbags. I know it will be a little extra for you to send here but it's well worth it when you realize what a difference you'll be making!

Okay, this is how my daughter did hers and it looks AMAZING, she gets lots of compliments on it. Get glue or tape, felt pads in different colors and glue/tape them on! she did a layering thing to spell out her name(but it was difficult because she had 2 carve out letters like e and o). other things are buttons (pinning them on), using different color sharpies to write comments all over(this might look a bit tacky, so it depends on your taste), adding little plastic things(plastic lizards, animals, frogs, mice, e.t.c), adding things you collect(my daughter's SECOND backpack was decorated with polished rocks, while the first was foam pieces), drawing, printing out thing from the internet, your name in felt/some other fabric, clippings from magazines(ex. cars, celebs, flowers, e.t.c, whatever interests YOU), sport-related things(athlete's signatures, pics of soccer balls, footballs,basketballs, or anything you play/like), glitter, beads, iron-on things, rhinestones, fun sayings like"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?," news and update it(if you have the time, so not the best choice for a busy person), adding things according to season(pics of leaves in the fall, pics snowflakes in winter, and pics of flowers in spring...i didnt put one for summer cuz...well its summer vacation time! Also, the first letter of your first name over and over in different colors(also might be tacky), your initials in different colors, squares of fabric to create a "quilt" look, and FINALLY, theme your backpack! (butterflies, hearts, the circus, jungle, rainbow, whatever!) . if you're willing to risk it, get jewelry and attach it, like thrusting earring studs in and fastening them, to add shine. remember if you do this you run the risk of someone stealing it, so when you attach ANYTHING, remember to secure it. Always remember these rules:

1. You'll be taking this to school, pretty much EVERYDAY, so remember to keep it APPROPRIATE(my daughter told me about a kid who had an inapropriate backpack and got detention)
2.Keep it YOU, so make it original and dont copy other's. copying will ruin your rep too.
3. Have fun decorating!

The one that hits one back if you're not fast enough. And where can I find one?

Before swivels were used, Corbett, Fitzimmons, Jeffries, etc. all boxers of that era used a punch ball, hung from a platform by a small knotted piece of rope. Many times the rope would break and the bag would fly off in all directions. Later, Dempsey, Tunney and all the smaller weight boxers used a big bag called a military bag, as that was the popular style bag for all uses. A really good boxer or exhibitionist used not only his fist in the workout, but his elbows also.
