""We picked up 100 backpacks full of supplies. They made a huge difference to hand them out to everyone in need.""
""The kids are so excited to have high school students here to run the ceremony. Something feels different when the person giving the award is closer to their age.""
Make Great Plays, founded by Dhuruv Sankararaman, is a nonprofit organization that provides supplies, mentorship, and awards to elementary students in Title I schools. Initially focused on donating sports equipment, the initiative has expanded to include backpack drives and classroom support, benefiting over 100 students. The organization recognizes students who assist peers with autism through awards, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Plans are underway to expand the program to Los Angeles County and rural India.
