Kalfus & Nachman Expands the 5th Annual Backpack Bash

Kalfus & Nachman, a prominent law firm based in Norfolk, Virginia, is gearing up for its 5th Annual Backpack Bash, an impactful community event aimed at supporting local families as they prepare for the upcoming school year. Scheduled to take place on August 8, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, the firm will distribute over 2,000 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to children in the area, an initiative that has garnered significant attention and appreciation since its inception.

This year’s event is particularly special as it sees the inclusion of new educational partners and activities that promise to enrich the experience not only for the children receiving the backpacks but also for their families. The Backpack Bash has become a celebrated tradition in Norfolk, fostering a sense of community and care among participants, with Kalfus & Nachman at the forefront of this initiative.

New Educational Activities for 2026

One of the most exciting developments for this year’s Backpack Bash is the expanded slate of interactive educational activities provided by local organizations. These activities are designed to engage the attendees through unique and hands-on experiences.

• - Mad Science: Attendees will be treated to two live, interactive science shows on the main stage, showcasing fascinating experiments that ignite curiosity and learning among young minds.
• - Virginia Aquarium's Turtle Trek: Children will get the chance to participate in a hands-on marine education experience, courtesy of the aquarium's outreach team, highlighting the importance of marine life and conservation.
• - The Virginia Zoo: Special wildlife education sessions and activities will be available to enhance children's understanding of animal care and protection.
• - Children's Museum of Virginia: The museum will host various activities aimed at encouraging creativity and stimulating learning through play.
• - My Gym Children's Fitness: A dedicated youth fitness station will provide movement-based games, promoting physical wellness and activity among children.
• - Virginia Department of Health: Families can receive vital health information, access wellness resources, and learn back-to-school safety tips.

These new additions reflect Kalfus & Nachman's commitment to not just providing school supplies but also enriching the educational landscape for families in Norfolk.

Returning Entertainment and Community Partners

Alongside the new educational offerings, many beloved community partners will also return to contribute to the festivities. Notably, the Maury High School Marching Band will perform live to kick off the event with an energetic atmosphere, setting the tone for a day filled with excitement and learning.

The Peninsula SPCA will host an on-site pet adoption area featuring animals ready for new homes, encouraging responsible pet ownership while fostering the bond between families and pets. Additionally, the event will host a live broadcast from 100.5 The Vibe, complete with music, entertainment, carnival-style inflatables, face painting, games, and, of course, free funnel cakes, creating a festive environment for everyone involved.

Fast Track Registration Available

While walk-ups are encouraged and welcome, families can expedite their experience by securing a free Fast Track Pass through Eventbrite. This pass provides access to a dedicated entry line, though it is essential to note that it does not guarantee a backpack; children must still be present to receive one, and all backpacks will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until supplies last.
