Backpack Give-Back Drive
The National Alumni Association led a backpack giveaway of more than 500 backpacks to
a low-income elementary school in the Bay Area in mid-August.
On Thursday, August 13, the National Alumni Association led a
backpack giveaway drive to Rosemary Elementary School, where more
than 85 percent of the students are on free or reduced lunch.
The NAA raised more than $1300 to purchase 525 new backpacks
to give one to EVERY student at Rosemary Elementary in San Jose (1st-5th
grades). More than 90 percent of these students are Latino/a.
“NAK alumni care deeply about our communities of which lowincome students reside in,” said Angel Barajas, CEO of the NAK National
Alumni Association. “Upwards of 90% of our alumni brothers come from a
disadvantaged background, so, we understand that investing in our youth is
an investment in our community.”
Sergio Andrade (NAA director of membership), Marlon Cuellar
(former NAA director of scholarship) and Angel along with 6 other Bay
Area NAK alumni attended this event.
We are very proud of this effort and are planning to make further
contributions like this at other NAK communities so we can continue to
inspire our youth and pay it forward.
