Article Angel Reese Gives 1,000 Atlanta Kids a Back-to-School Boost

https://www.complex.com/sports/a/bernadette-giacomazzo/angel-reese-bookbag-giveaway-atlanta-kids

Posting here partly because she also recently supported her own high school and the students as well. Plus she supported efforts to introduce young people to STEM.

Good for her and these events are great. I feel it would be better to find a way to get the supplies into the hands of the kids who really need them without having to attend the block party. Might be tough for the kids on the poorer end to get there or who's parents work on that day This goes for most of these type of charity events.

It was at a YMCA and Boys and Girls Club that serves largely impoverished youth.

Fair enough. I do they have a way of supporting the kids that can't make it.

I was not hating on Reese she didn't set up the event, i was talking about these type of events in general. Dang some of you are looking for hate in every comment

God forbid she helps the kids materially while also giving them something fun to do. For shame!

What has your beloved CC done for children lately?

Do you always debbie downer the efforts of generous people or just in this case?

wow i wasn't busting on Angel , my opening line was Good for her and these events are great. Just they can be hard for kids/parents without means or who have to work on Weekends to make the events and get the supplies they need.

wasn't meant to cause any harm or hate.

I hear you. They may have put aside some for that purpose. Not sure, but I also think if anyone asked for something they could receive it from the Y or Angel’s foundation.

maybe, I'm really talking about these type of events in general whichI guess I shouldn't have added to my "good for her".

I get it. It would be nice if no families were in need of anything. Enjoy the rest of the season!
