Bringing the Community Together for the Youth of Boston
An annual favorite, our Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway brings together local corporations, organizations, and individuals that donate new backpacks and supplies with legions of Foundation volunteers who stuff them full of donated supplies.
2024 was our biggest year ever with
3,000 backpacks
The largest Back-to-School event in the City of Boston!
In partnership with the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers, the Giveaway culminates in a massive Back-to-School event hosted by our program partner Saint John Paul II Catholic Academy, Lower Mills, in Dorchester. Corey C. Griffin Foundation friends and supporters celebrate the day with students, families, and teachers, all gearing up for another successful year!
