KOBE DAY | BACKPACK GIVEAWAY 2026
What Does Kobe Day Mean to Us?
Through Action, Access, and Community
Kobe Bryant was more than a basketball legend—he was a fierce advocate for youth, known for his philanthropy through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, his support of cancer research, and his Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, which expanded access to sports for underserved youth.
Impact LA proudly continues this legacy with Kobe Day 2026, dedicated to uplifting the values Kobe represented: dedication, community, ambition, and love for youth.
Get ready to kick off the new school year in style with a brand new backpack! Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to stock up on school supplies and enjoy a day of community fun.
Join us for a fun-filled day of:
- Backpacks & School Supplies
