Because of your efforts, this year’s event was not only well-organized—it was truly impactful. We are incredibly proud of our Planning Committee for their leadership and vision, and grateful for the tireless commitment of our volunteers who made everything possible. A special shout-out goes to Aaron Thum and PV Jobs , who brought 10 young people to participate—not only receiving training but also learning the importance of giving back through community events. We are thankful for the 8 vendors whose contributions enriched the day, and especially our major sponsors— Revolution National Pest Council , The Heritage Foundation , Supervisor Hilda Solis and Bob Hope Patriotic Hall —for providing the support needed to make this event happen. We also appreciate the role of our MC, David Uyematsu from EDD and EAC Committee, Mindful Veteran Project, MCS, VPAN and CWC whose energy and presence helped keep the event lively and engaging. Your collective efforts created an atmosphere of joy, pride, and community for our veterans and their families. The 10th Annual Veterans Backpack Giveaway was a success because of your dedication, and the positive impact will be felt long after the last backpack was given out. Together, we have shown our community the power of unity, service, and respect for those who have served our country. With deepest gratitude, Tova Barbour CEO 1123 E. Dominguez Street, Unit E Carson, CA 90746 Office: (310) 639-1180 Fax: (310) 639-1168 Email: sbarbour@pestcouncil.com
