As students across Dallas settle into a new school year, Lyons & Simmons is proud to have once again partnered with Community Partners of Dallas to help local children begin the year prepared and confident.
This summer, Lyons & Simmons served as the Backpack Sponsor for Community Partners of Dallas’ 2026 Back-to-School Drive, an annual initiative providing new backpacks, age-appropriate school supplies, and school uniforms to 2,500 abused and neglected children in Dallas County.
In addition to sponsoring the drive, members of the Lyons & Simmons team spent time volunteering with Community Partners of Dallas, working together to help prepare and organize items for distribution to children before the start of school.
Starting the School Year with Confidence
For many of the children served by Community Partners of Dallas, having a new backpack and the right supplies for the classroom is about more than checking items off a school supply list. It can help a child walk into school feeling prepared, included, and ready to focus on learning.
That mission is what makes the Back-to-School Drive particularly meaningful to our team.
“At Lyons & Simmons, we believe being part of the Dallas community means showing up for it,” said firm partner Michael Lyons. “Community Partners of Dallas does extraordinary work for children who need support, and we’re proud to contribute both our resources and our time to help these kids begin the school year on the right foot.”
A Commitment Beyond the Courtroom
Lyons & Simmons’ commitment to helping people extends beyond the work we do for our clients. Supporting organizations that strengthen the community where we live and work is an important part of who we are as a firm.
We are grateful to Community Partners of Dallas for the work it does year-round on behalf of abused and neglected children throughout Dallas County, and to the members of our team who gave their time to support this year’s drive.
As another school year gets underway, we’re proud to help send Dallas children back to the classroom with the tools — and confidence — they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
