Fueling Futures: RNR Tire Express to Donate $100,000 in Annual Back-to-School Giveaways

• This Year's Backpack Giveaway Will Take Place Across 175 Stores and Give Away Over 9,600 Backpacks
• Select RNR Stores Will Offer Back-to-School Deals and Host a "Back to School Bash"
• RNR Has Donated Nearly $1,000,000 in School Supplies Since the Inception of the Initiative

TAMPA, Fla., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This back-to-school season, RNR Tire Express (RNR), the nation's leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels, proudly kicks off its annual teacher and backpack giveaways, celebrating the dedication of educators and the bright potential of students across the country. These annual initiatives are part of the brand's mission of giving back in meaningful ways to the communities it serves.

This initiative comes at a time when economic challenges are looming across the country and school supplies costing 9.4% higher than the same time last year. Providing backpacks and essential supplies to kids nationwide aids in alleviating stress for parents so they can focus on the upcoming school year.

Now in its 11th year, RNR's backpack giveaway will see 27 franchise groups, representing more than 175 stores, distribute over 9,600 backpacks filled with school supplies. With this year's effort, RNR will surpass a milestone of 30,000 backpacks donated to students nationwide since the inception of the giveback initiative.

Backpack Giveaway Details:

• Simply visit your local RNR Tire Express location to pick up your backpack while supplies last from July 28 to August 9. For information regarding this year's initiative, please visit rnrtires.com/school.
• Select RNR locations will be offering back-to-school deals, free tire safety checks, and more to ensure families are safe on the road this fall.
• In some markets, stores will be hosting a "Back to School Bash" to celebrate the school year beginning by inviting families for free food, backpacks, and giveaways.

"We believe every child deserves to start the school year with the proper tools to set them up for success. By putting essential supplies into the hands of families in need, we're investing in futures, supporting our communities, and showing up for one another in the ways that truly matter," said Adam Sutton, CEO of RNR Tire Express. "The backpack giveaway has remained a staple for the RNR team and the communities we serve, it's a reflection of who we are as a community-first brand."

The teacher giveaway, in its fifth year, is a heartwarming, community-driven campaign designed to celebrate deserving teachers who go above and beyond for their students. Local community members are invited to nominate an exceptional educator who is worthy of recognition for their dedication and impact in education. One lucky teacher will be selected by the RNR team to be honored by having their entire Amazon classroom wish list purchased. These lists often include hundreds of dollars of school supplies, learning tools, and classroom resources that would otherwise be purchased out of pocket.

"Teachers give so much of themselves, often digging into their own pockets to make sure their students have what they need," added Sutton. "The annual teacher supply giveaway is our way of saying 'thank you' and recognizing the incredible impact they have every single day. At RNR Tire Express, we're proud to stand behind the educators who shape the future, one classroom at a time."

Nominations for this year's giveaway will be accepted from July 7 to August 2. For more information on the giveaway, and to nominate a local educator, please visit rnrtires.com/teacher.
