our back to school festival was a blast!!

a note from our team

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! There's nothing more we can say but thank you!! Our back to school festival was a great success, and it's all because of the many people who came together to make it happen. Because of our amazing donors, we were able to 'make a kid ready' for back to school. In fact--we were able to make 108 kids ready!! We donated 108 backpacks full of supplies to kids throughout Cincinnati. Because of the Sole Bros, each and every one of those children were also able to receive a new pair of shoes for school. Thank you to Emery Federal Credit Union for coming out and giving financial literacy tips to the children. A special thanks to our barbers Austin, Eviano, Kay, and Boujie for donating their time and making sure the kids went back to school with fresh cuts. Big shout out to Mahkaylyn and her line sister for talking about college and greek life. Thank you to child entertainer Nino who performed his biggest hits and turned the crowd up! Because of Romel from Krazy Jump, we even had a bounce house at the event that the kids loved! We also thank our many volunteers who helped face paint, initiate field games, and hand out food during the festival. As you can see, it took a community to put this all into place!! We are forever grateful for the generous hearts that we come across. It means the world to us that so many people are willing to give their time, energy, and resources towards supporting our mission. Because you trust in us, we will continue to drive forward. The job is far from done--let's make some more kids merry!!
