Project Description:

Clippers Owner, Steve Ballmer, and star Kawhi Leonard partnered on 500,000 backpack giveaway for all kids in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Pulling this off before the start of school gave us just 30 days from project beginning to full distribution at over 1,000 LA based schools.

My Role:

The Outcome:

We hit delivery date, successfully distributed the half million backpacks to over 1,000 LA based schools and garnered local and national media attention.
