Sparc held four Back to School community events for the 2024-2025 school year. A total of eight organizations participated in our Back to school events providing fire safety discussions, as well as art and science activities. Students who attended these events received new backpacks and school supplies, including; binders, notebooks, pens, pencils, highlighters, and more. Each event held a Vans shoe raffle and a tablet raffle to help our students begin the new school year.

SPARC worked with OnLok to bring an informational seminar to Hacienda Valley and Tropics. OnLok offers a variety of services to low-income seniors who currently have Medi-Cal or Medicare. Some services include; senior fitness, home-delivered meals, aging & disability resources, case management, and access to the OnLok Senior Center. The Senior Center offers many programs: lifelong learning, gardening, games, and art, and they have a free shuttle service for all members. Residents who attended received a free blood pressure check performed by a licensed nurse after the presentation. 

A Sip of Color and SPARC partnered to bring a guided painting class to Leisure. All who attended were provided with canvas, brushes, paint, aprons, and instruction by a professional artist on how to create their version of a starry night. "Paint & Sip" events are typically painting paired with alcohol, instead of alcohol we provided strawberry lemonade for all in attendance.
