About this Event
With immense joy and deep gratitude, I invite you to be part of something truly life-changing—No Backpack Day’s Annual Fundraiser Gala on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC.
This year, we are privileged to welcome Dr. Auma Obama, a Kenyan Activist and sister to President Obama who is passionate and advocates for children and communities, whose unwavering commitment to education reflects the very heart of our mission.
Every child deserves the chance to learn, to dream, and to succeed. Yet, for so many, something as simple as a backpack remains out of reach. This year, our goal is to provide 5,000 children with the backpacks and school supplies they need to step into their classrooms with confidence and dignity. But we cannot do this alone.
This is more than a gala—it’s a movement. A movement built on hope, compassion, and the belief that education can change lives. Imagine the joy on a child’s face when they no longer have to carry their books in plastic bags or in their arms. Imagine the pride they feel knowing that a community—our community—believes in their potential.
We need you to help us reach this milestone. Join us for an unforgettable evening alongside fellow changemakers who believe, as you do, in the power of education. Let’s come together to make a lasting impact—one child, one backpack, one dream at a time.
If you are unable to attend, please consider making a donation to support this cause. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to a brighter future for these children. Visit www to give today.
With heartfelt gratitude,
