The Semaj J. Morgan Foundation’s Backpack Giveaway at The Sound Mind Sound Body Community Center

Written By Sari M. Cicurel

A community-driven event designed to equip local youth with the tools they need for academic success while fostering a sense of encouragement and belonging. Led by University of Michigan wide receiver Semaj Morgan, the giveaway provides free backpacks filled with essential school supplies to children of all ages, with a special focus on supporting foster care youth and underserved families in Metro Detroit.

More than just a distribution event, the day offers an uplifting atmosphere with music, games, sports activities, and opportunities to connect with mentors and community leaders. The goal is to ease the financial burden on families, inspire kids to feel confident and prepared for the school year, and reinforce the Foundation’s commitment to education, youth development, and giving back.

This annual initiative reflects the heart of the Semaj J. Morgan Foundation—combining generosity, community engagement, and empowerment to make a lasting impact.
