Back to School Bash
Let the children come to me; do not stop them, for it is too such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.” And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them. Mark 10:14-16
Back-to-School Bash is always a wonderful time and a blessing to our community. The reality is that many of our students will face the school year at a disadvantage from their peers. They will be hindered because they do not have the means to get the supplies that are needed. Our goal in this event is twofold.
- To provide school supplies so that every student has a chance to enter the year with the tools necessary to succeed.
- To reach our community through means of grace that they may know they are loved by God and us!
This is how we follow Jesus’ command in Mark 10:14-16. By providing a safe and fun environment for kids to come and have fun, eat great food, and get the tools they need for the upcoming year. This is our way of helping and not hindering. I hope you will join us on this special day. We of course need volunteers but even if you are not able to help, come and see, listen, and experience the love of God in action!
Dear Back-to-School Bash Sponsor,
Please accept our heartfelt thank you for your generous donation in support of the annual Back-to-School Bash. Your generosity enables us to continue this missional outreach to the children and families of our community and the assistance you provided was a significant factor in this year’s event being a success.
Our street festival was a huge blast! We handed out 744 bookbags, 500 ears of street corn, 350 corn dogs, 250 hot dogs, 25 gallons of tea and 10 cases of water! We used over 110 lbs. of ice to make snow cones. Hair Hut LLP gave 25 free haircuts. The Lion’s Club completed 58 vision checks with 4 referrals. Over 116 families visited Jordan’s closet. The bounce houses and water slide was full of laughing happy children. The UNC-G School of Nursing Minerva Mobile unit conducted 15 physicals. Best of all were the smiles on faces as kids had a chance to enjoy a day just for them before starting back to school.
Thank you again for your assistance with this event. Together we are showing our children authentic love that will impact them and make a difference in our community!
On August 9, 2025 we will celebrate our School Bash’s 10th year! So please mark this day on your calendar. It’s going to bigger and better than ever!
