The event will offer free backpacks filled with essential school supplies for students in grades K–12.
In addition to school supplies, participants will receive free dental and health screenings, haircuts, kids’ activities, community resources, and a surprise visit from beloved Arizona Diamondbacks mascot. This family-friendly event is open to everyone and aims to help students head back to school feeling prepared and confident.
Early arrival is strongly encouraged, as supplies and giveaways will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
For those looking to support the event during the month of June, donations can be dropped off at Texas Roadhouse 5086 S. Power Road, and at Mesa PD Substations, addresses listed on the flyer.
