It's a labor of love and back-to-school tradition for cancer survivor Dee Johnson. Every year, she brings smiles to the faces of Oakland school children during her annual backpack giveaway.

Johnson has given away more than 133,000 backpacks to low-income public school children in Oakland and Alameda County over the last quarter century.

"It's just unbelievable," she said as she looked at a sea of smiling faces during this year's giveaway at Martin Luther King Jr Elementary School.
