Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys continues its 2026 FREE Backpack Giveaway Tour with a successful stop in Mesa, Arizona, welcoming hundreds of families to AZ Athletic Grounds for an afternoon dedicated to helping students prepare for the upcoming school year.
The excitement started early as families lined up for the chance to receive one of 750 backpacks filled with essential school supplies. New for 2026, the first 550 K–12 students in line also received a FREE pair of brand-name shoes—including Nike, Converse, and Vans—helping even more children head back to the classroom feeling confident and prepared.
The giveaway quickly turned into a celebration of community. Kids cooled off with delicious ice cream and shaved ice, while colorful balloon art and face painting brought smiles to their faces. Families also took home plenty of Lerner and Rowe swag, including Frisbees, hats, sunglasses, water bottles, T-shirts, activity books, and drawstring bags, making the day even more memorable.
The Mesa backpack giveaway marks the second stop on Lerner and Rowe’s 7-city backpack giveaway tour, which will distribute 6,250 backpacks to students across four states during the 2026 back-to-school season. More than just providing school supplies, the annual initiative continues to bring communities together, helping local students begin the new school year with the tools, confidence, and encouragement they need to succeed.
