A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, teachers, community partners, and the hundreds of families who joined us to make this year’s event such a tremendous success.

We can’t wait to do it again!

We look forward to welcoming everyone back for the 3rd Annual Backpack to the Future in 2027. Check back for event details and registration as next year’s event approaches. We look forward to another amazing event in 2027!

Free Backpacks. Free School Supplies. Zero Stress.

Every kid deserves to walk into the first day of school feeling ready, confident, and excited, not worried about whether they have the right supplies. That’s why Elmm Law Group is bringing back Backpack to the Future for another year of giving Valley families a strong, joyful start to the school year.

Join us on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at M.C. Cash Elementary School. Bring the kids. Pick up a free backpack stuffed with supplies and other fun items. Grab a Kona Ice, say hi to neighbors, experience our RV photo booth, and check off your back-to-school list, all in one afternoon.
