Backpacks, Supplies, and School Spirit: LuskinOIC’s Back-to-School Giveaway

Ready, Set, School!

The LuskinOIC Back-to-School Drive was a huge success, thanks to the incredible energy and generosity of our community! Patients and their families were welcomed with open arms and big smiles as they received free school supplies, backpacks, and essential gear to kick off the new school year with confidence.

We were especially grateful for the support of our amazing LuskinOIC volunteers and the ever-enthusiastic Las Niñas volunteers, whose positive energy lit up the entire event. Their presence made the day extra special for every child and family who walked through our doors.

Even Ozzie the Dragon and members of the UCLA Women’s Basketball Team joined in the fun, spreading joy and sharing some unforgettable moments with our young scholars.

A special thank-you goes out to the Starlight Children’s Foundation for their generous donations—including backpacks, toothbrushes, hoodies, and more—which ensured that every child felt ready, supported, and excited for the school year ahead.

Together, we’re helping our patients head back to school not just prepared, but empowered. Thank you to everyone who made this day possible!
