SAN FRANCISCO, CA (August 2025) — Polaris Real Estate Partners (PREP) proudly continued its annual back-to-school backpack giveaway this year, marking a significant milestone in the program’s ten-year history. We’re pleased to share that more than 1,000 backpacks were distributed, the largest number provided to students since the program began.
Each backpack was filled with essential school supplies and given to young residents across our communities, helping them prepare for the 2025–2026 school year.
Back-to-school celebrations took place at all 16 Polaris apartment communities. With the support of our corporate team and on-site property management staff, the giveaways were paired with pool parties and summer activities, creating a fun and welcoming environment for residents and their families.

Therefore, it is especially important for Polaris to honor this tradition to help provide reassurance and consistency in an ever-changing and unpredictable environment. This is one of the truly enjoyable aspects of our work – directly engaging with residents and their children. Through the Giveaway event, we witness firsthand the significant impact it has.”
