Back To Schoole Drive - July 13th & 14th, 2022

“The Russ Lyon Foundation would like to thank all the agents and staff that donated backpacks, school supplies, money and their time. The Arizona Helping Hands Back to School Drive was a huge success!! Through their incredible generosity, we were able to help hundreds of foster kids start school prepared for a successful year.“ - Stephanie Stewart.

We partnered with Arizona Helping Hands to host a backpack drive for foster care kids who need extra TLC just before the start of this upcoming school year. In all, the event gave away 2,000 backpacks, and each one is full of different supplies children need to have a successful school year. It’s the 10th year in a row the group has held this event.
