Football kicks off their ‘voting matters’ community outreach

The UCLA Bruins were out this past weekend, reaching their community in positive ways, distributing free backpacks as well as school supplies to children at a drive-through event hosted through the YMCA. At the Weingart YMCA Wellness & Aquatic Center, the Bruins helped to donate 1,000 or more backpacks as well as other supplies in the trunks of cars to families with school-aged youth in the Inglewood area.

“UCLA football’s all about acts of service.” Quentin Lake said. “It’s important because we have such a big name. UCLA’s such a big name in the LA community that it’s important for us to be active in these areas.
