Back 2 School Blast Thank You

The Back 2 School Blast occurs each August and offers free backpacks, school supplies, annual school physicals, haircuts and fun activities. 

In 2011, with the help of over 150 volunteers, we were able to provide 400 backpacks with school supplies, 30 school physicals, 55 haircuts, lunch and TONS of fresh produce to children and families living in West Palm Beach's inner city.

Thank you to our sponsors, donors and volunteers.  We could not have done it without you!
