On Aug. 16, 2025, Gainesville native Fie Scoobie hosted a back-to-school backpack drive at Mr. Vape and Smok3 for local children to come pick up school supplies.
In between signing backpacks, making TikToks and taking pictures, Alachua county families stocked up for the school year. Children and parents alike were ecstatic to meet a local celebrity and get a chance to be featured on his social media. After the event, Fie Scoobie expressed his gratitude to be able to give back to the community he grew up in.
