On Friday, August 25, the 2023 Washington Wizards & Daniel Gafford Back to School Tip-off presented by Giant, was hosted in Southeast DC for the students, facility and staff of Lawrence E.

In partnership with Giant, Daniel Gafford and the MSE Foundation, the event included music, free backpacks filled with school supplies, one free book for the students, free haircuts and hairstyles, food, 360 photo both and more!
