In July 2025, The Tess Foundation proudly hosted its first ever community event, Shop with a Cop, in partnership with the Asian American Peace Officer Association, Alief ISD, and Walmart.
 

With the support of Pct. 4 and 5 Constables, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, and a team of dedicated volunteers, we provided school supplies and encouragement to 17 students who have been personally impacted by roadway crashes or violent crime as they prepare for the new school year.
 

This event was about more than back-to-school shopping. It was about reminding young survivors that they are not alone and that their community stands beside them with love, support, and hope.
