Bank of America donates backpacks to Hub school

Local Bank of America officials scheduled an event for this morning to donate backpacks to the James W. Hennigan Elementary School in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood.

Plans call for the bank to donate 300 backpacks, which bank employee volunteers filled with school supplies such as notebooks, markers, and pencils, the bank said.

Scheduled to be at the event were Hennigan principal Eleanor Kearse Perry and Bank of America Massachusetts president Robert Gallery, the bank said.
