AKP Sports Foundation to Host its 3rd Annual Back2School Invitation + Festival in Los Angeles
July 1, 2025 – Los Angeles With the upcoming school year just around the corner, AKP Sports Foundation is excited to announce our annual Back2School event (B2S) on Saturday, August 9, 2025, located at New Life Vision Church in Los Angeles, CA.
Back2School aims not only to provide accessible school supplies to the local community, but also to amplify communal growth and unity through the AAPI basketball tournament, B2S Invitational. The B2S Invitational encourages Asian American churches to take part regardless of skill level and support the local community through service.
Supporting education and well-being, B2S seeks to create a space of togetherness and anticipation for the school year through the creation of one of the largest church basketball tournaments in LA and providing school supplies to children in the LA community in preparation for the upcoming school year.
“We’re excited to see both new and returning families and communities join us for our Back2School event this year! It is a joy to see churches coming together to fellowship through sports, serve the next generation, and bring smiles to children as they prepare for the upcoming school year.”
—Heimin You, Vice President of Cares
“Back2School is more than an event—it is an opportunity to bring families together, support the next generation, and inspire our communities to serve with a purpose. We’re grateful to partner with so many incredible churches and participants of Back 2 School Festival and Invitational who share our vision to serve the community through sports and faith.”
— John Lee, CEO, AKP Sports Foundation
