At GXA, we believe in the power of community, and there’s no better way to show it than by rolling up our sleeves and getting involved. That’s why we were thrilled to be a proud sponsor and participant in the recent United Way of Tarrant County Day of Action backpack drive!
Our team had a blast joining forces with United Way to help pack and donate essential school supplies to students in our community. The energy was incredible, and seeing all those backpacks lined up and ready to go was truly the best.
In total, we were able to provide 333 backpacks for distribution to students across various Fort Worth ISD schools. We hope these backpacks are filled with everything the students need for an amazing school year.
Beyond the Backpacks: A Day of Fun and Inspiration
The Day of Action was about more than just packing backpacks. It was a true celebration of community spirit, complete with engaging activities for kids and inspiring moments for all.
While we were packing, children enjoyed activities like robotics with Paulo Orosz from RobotLab, mind-bending puzzles with Josh Fletcher from MindMelt, and a live book reading with book distribution.
First responders were also on hand for a meet and greet, and the Artes de la Rosa youth DJ program kept the energy high with some great entertainment.
We were also joined by other incredible event sponsors, including United Healthcare, Tarleton, and QuickTrip. UnitedHealthcare and Tarleton were on-site to provide valuable resource information to families.
A Huge Thank You to Our Amazing Team!
We want to give a massive thank you to our staff who volunteered their time and energy. Your generosity powered a hugely successful event, and we’re so proud to have made a tangible difference in our community.
A special shout-out goes to our very own Carly Guidry, who took the stage to share her inspirational story and give everyone an awesome peek into the exciting world of a vITM at GXA. Her words were a true highlight of the day!
