Back 2 School Bash Of The Century 2024 will be held on August 24, 2024.
In 2023, our back to school bash event served 1776 children on the day of the event, Any many more after the event taking our numbers over 1800 children being assisted with school items in 2023. We were able to assist Lincoln county (Eureka, Troy and Libby), Sanders county (Plains, Hot Springs and Noxon), as well as Flathead county students in receiving free backpacks, school, supplies, and tennis shoes. By doing our event in conjunction with Coats For kids, Inc., children also received boots, snow gear, as well as hats, and gloves.
School in and of itself can be terrifying two kids, going into new classes with potentially new students can be scary. But to go into school without school supplies, can be extraordinarily difficult. Not only does it make education tough, but it makes bullying more likely to take place.
By doing what we do, we allow every child who comes to get all of the school supplies as well as gear that they will need to start out a new school year. No child's education should suffer due to lack of supplies.
Our event is made to be a fun day- Hair cuts, Games, Food, Trolley Rides, and prizes make it a day of laughter and joy, as well as a great day of financial relief for the parents who come. Knowing that their child is fully prepared for school- lifts such a weight off of everyone's shoulders.
It is said that it takes a tribe to raise a child… Nothing holds more true to that then helping a child go to school fully prepared to learm.
