The New York Yankees partnered with New York City Public Schools for a back-to-school resource fair at Yankee Stadium on Friday.
Haley Steinbrenner Swindal, the Yankees' ambassador of community relations, said 2,500 kids from Bronx School District 9 were invited to pick up free backpacks and school supplies.
Over a dozen local organizations also joined the fair, offering services like CPR lessons, vision tests and more.
Parents worried about unexpected expenses during school year
While the event helped parents and students get ready for the beginning of the year, there are still unplanned expenses after classes start.
