At the event, Kawhi Leonard, the L.A. Clippers Foundation and non-profit community partner Baby2Baby, announced a gift of one million backpacks intended to reduce stress on low-income families headed back to school across Southern California. Every single student in the Moreno Valley Unified, Inglewood Unified and Los Angeles Unified School Districts will receive a new backpack to start the school year.
“My goal this year is to make a meaningful contribution both on and off the court. This felt like the right way to get started,” Kawhi Leonard said in a statement. “It was important to me to make this announcement in my hometown of Moreno Valley at my former Elementary School, but the benefits this program will have across all of Los Angeles makes today even more special.”
