Valdi Radmanovic and Laker Girls join in raising funding for Five Acres back to school supplies.

Lakers' forward Vladi Radmanovic's annual "School Supply Drive" at Staples office supply store in Santa Monica to benefit Five Acres child and family services agency raised more than $800 worth of school supplies for children at Five Acres child and family services agency.

Shoppers at Staples on August 30 purchased Staples Gift Cards and pre-made backpacks filled with school supplies for the children and Vladi autographed photos at the event while the Laker Girls cheered on the fans making donations.
