2025 Backpack Giveaway Tour

Helping 6,700+ Students Start the School Year Strong

During Lerner & Rowe Injury Attorneys 2025 backpack giveaway tour, our team gave away over 6,700 backpacks filled with essential school supplies in seven cities across the United States:

The goal of each giveaway was to help ease the financial burden for families while helping K–12 students start the 2025–2026 school year prepared and excited.

Events were hosted indoors or partially indoors to help beat the summer heat, and every student received their backpack in person—no signups, no red tape, just community support.
