Back to School 2017

Treasure Island Annual Back to School Backpack give-away was a huge success! We gave away over 130 backpacks to school age children - TK and above. The inclusiveness of everyone who live and work here on Treasure Island helped to make this an even greater one this year. It was truly a community event and it was felt throughout the entire evening! Space would not permit us to thank each one who participated by name however, we would be remiss if we fail to acknowledge our guest speaker, Dr. Teri Delane who shared her life experiences with us and inspired our young folks to stay the course and know that they can achieve anything they set their hearts to do. As well, a huge thank you to Robert Beck, Director of Treasure Island for his continuous support of our community events, Laura Savage, Ombudsman from the SFUSD and her team who came out and help supported this event and of course, a heartfelt thank you to Justin Feliciano, Director of the TI YMCA for his dynamic leadership in spearheading the Back to School Committee and hosting the event at the gym.

A Big shout out to Isis Breston and her Teen group -who played a vital role throughout the entire evening… and to all the parents and island agencies, we say thank you! Let’s do it again next year!
