🎒✨ Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway! ✨🎒

Hey families! Come hang out with us at the American Family Fields of Phoenix on Saturday, July 26 at 6 PM for a fun and FREE back-to-school event hosted by the office of councilwoman Betty Guardado and the City of Phoenix.

We’ll be giving away free backpacks and school supplies (while they last), so your kids can start the school year off right. It’s a great way to get ready for the new year, connect with the community, and enjoy a summer evening together.

Bring the whole family—we’d love to see you there! 💙📚
