Event
Back to School Bash
Preparing for the school year can be overwhelming for many families. Each year, our community brings together families, partners, and volunteers for our Back to School Bash, a high-impact community event supporting students across Benton and Franklin counties. This event removes barriers, ensuring that every child has equitable access to the supplies and support they need to learn and thrive. The Back to School Bash ensures that local youth head into the school year with the tools, confidence, and support they need to succeed.

Event Details
Helping kids start the school year strong!
The Back to School Bash is a one-stop-shop event that serves over 2,000 local students each year. Numerous businesses and community partners come together to donate school supplies and host resource vendor tables. After selecting a backpack, students are guided by volunteer shoppers to select age-appropriate school supplies. While attending, families enjoy music, activities, and booths offering valuable community resources and services.
