Description

Gabriella's Gifts is a part of Gabriella's Smile Foundation focused on providing children with cancer and their families in San Antonio area hospitals an opportunity to experience joy and smiles in the midst of their difficult journey. Operation Back to School is targeted on fulfilling educational needs for these children as a part of the Gabriella’s Gifts program.

We are looking for donations that we can give to some of the families that are in most need financially to help them with back to school expenses besides the backpacks.

Since 2016, we have collected over 500 backpacks and delivered them to oncology clinics in local children's hospitals. The backpacks are gifted to these brave cancer warriors and their siblings annually before the start of each school year. Our backpacks are filled with school supplies donated by members and supporters around the city of San Antonio. We couldn't do this without their support, and we look forward to Operation Back to School 2019!
