Mo' MAGIC Backpack Giveaway an Extreme Success

Last Saturday, the Mo’ MAGIC backpack giveaway was held in two San Francisco neighborhoods, Bayview and Western Addition. Overall, the backpack giveaway was an extreme success. Over 1000 backpacks were distributed to excited young children, each filled with an array of new school supplies including paper, pencils, rulers, folders, binders, and more. The backpacks provided some essential materials for success in the classroom and excitement for the upcoming school year. A special thanks to Dr. Nadine Burke, head of the Bayview Child Heath Center, for delivering health information to the residents and to Sheryl Davis, director of Mo' Magic, and all the volunteers and families who worked so hard to make this event such a great success!
