Description

Karina’s Backpack Project Partners with the Joy of Sharing Foundation for Community Event at Angel Stadium

Karina Tarsadia, a 14 year old Orange County native who has been immersed in the art of giving back from an early age has decided to follow her passion and start a movement to foster independence among youth

On August 4th, 2019 from 10:00am to 4:00pm, Angel Stadium will proudly host Karina’s Backpack Project. Fueled by Karina’s passion to create community connection, the event will provide low income families with elementary and middle school student supplies, resources and services for a successful school year. The goal of Karina’s Backpack Project is to ensure every child they work with is equipped with the essential basic tools for success, and to see this community event and outreach program grow annually to be able to support more of those in need.

Karina has created a goal to give away 5,000 backpacks filled with school supplies for children locally.

The day of festivities at Angel Stadium will include backpack pick-up, haircuts, grocery distribution, as well as entertainment and performances for the whole family to enjoy.
