The Give Back! - Tre Simmons hosts community back pack drive to set youth up for success

Seattle legend Tre Simmons hosted the annual back to school backpack giveaway, providing backpacks, school supplies, food and more to the community ahead of the 2022-23 school year. The event, which took place at Garfield High School, featured local athletes like Isaiah Thomas, Nate Robinson and the UW Basketball Teams as they distributed gear which will prepare the youth for success this upcoming year.

Hosted with the Emergency Feeding Program, Simmons has been running the event for the last decade, growing each year. You can hear from him and check out the sights and sounds in the video above.
