7th Annual Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway & Community Festival

Backpack Giveaway:

The 7th Annual Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway & Community Festival is more than just an event—it’s a part of a movement to ensure our students start the school year “day one ready.” This annual tradition brings together corporate and individual donors, community partners, and local leaders to provide essential resources and support for students and families.

At the heart of this initiative is our backpack giveaway, where every student in attendance will receive a clear backpack filled with essential school supplies, removing barriers and setting them up for success. But we’re not stopping there. Through wrap-around services offered by our community partners, we’re ensuring that both students and parents have access to the tools they need for a thriving academic year.

The Community Festival element of the event is a celebration of our city’s unity and commitment to education. It’s a day filled with excitement, entertainment, and empowerment—reminding our students that they are valued, encouraged, and supported.
