WHAT: “Back To School Bash”

DETAILS: The Palm Beach County Convention Center will once again host the West Palm Beach

location for the 19th Annual Community Back to School Bash. Local organizations, including the Junior

League of the Palm Beaches, Inc., are pleased to support the cause by providing more than 100

volunteers for the event.

 

The Community Back to School Bash is a not-for profit organization, which serves more than 10,000 kids

from pre-K through 12th grade in Palm Beach County with school supplies, backpacks, clothes and even

a haircut to help build a sense of preparedness and confidence in their education. Its alignment with

children’s welfare is something the Junior League of the Palm Beaches believes strongly in supporting.

Their work in conjunction with mentoring and housing programs like Vita Nova, Girls Empowerment

Mentoring Sessions and the Nelle Smith residence makes working with the Community Back to School

Bash a great fit. Back to School Bash is designed to provide disadvantaged and low-income children with

supplies for the upcoming school year.

 

Volunteers are assigned to individual children and serve as shopping buddies by guiding them through

the process of selecting their very own grade-specific school supplies. Volunteers are also responsible for

facilitating activities for children who are waiting. Visit the Back to School Bash website at

backtoschoolbashpbc.org to find out how to volunteer at the location nearest to you.

19th Annual Community Back to School Bash to Benefit Thousands of Palm Beach County Children

Fun and Exciting Events Help Underserved Kids and Families Prepare for School Success

 

WHAT:            The 19th Annual Community Back to School Bash is being held at various locations throughout Palm Beach County to provide school supplies and essential services for children in need.  The Bash is a public-private partnership presented this year by the Palm Beach County Office of Community Revitalization, in partnership with the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and more than 65 non-profit agencies.  Each child is paired with a personal “shopper” who helps the child make selections and navigate the huge maze of new school supplies.  Participating children also receives free haircuts, health screenings, access to free immunizations and clothing.  The Community Back to School Bash is a not-for-profit organization committed to providing low income Palm Beach County children the tools they need to succeed in school.  Established in 1995, the Bash has grown to include more than 65 non-profit agencies serving more than 12,000 children.

                       

 

WHEN            Saturday, August 10

                           All BASH events begin at 9:00 a.m.

WHY:   Getting children ready to go back to school can be a difficult time for many families.  It is expensive for parents and an emotional challenge for children if they do not have the resources they need to feel positive about school.  The National Retail Federation says the average person with children in grades K-12 will spend &688.62 on their children, up from $603.63 last year.  Unfortunately, many families in Palm Beach County are in extreme financial situations, and available money must go first toward rent, utilities and food.  These families simply cannot afford to spend money on getting their children ready for school.  The Community Back to School Bash is a volunteer organization that exists to provide the supplies, information and resources to empower disadvantaged children to begin the school year with confidence and achieve academic success.
