Organizers estimated the value of the supplies at roughly $500 per teacher. Las Vegas resident and Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter showed up to shake hands with teachers and pitch in on distribution. "He put the word out, and we got boxes and boxes of support from his many fans to make sure that we had all the supplies necessary to help out more than 185 teachers," Jones said. Derfelt Elementary School counselor Alissa Iida echoed that sentiment, saying the event fills gaps left by insufficient classroom budgets. Organizers didn't stop at supplies — teachers were also treated to a catered lunch, live music, caricature artists, and chair massages meant to help them decompress before the first bell rings.
