The 7th annual Back to School Bash is taking place this August. It is presented by Our Youth Matter, Inc., which has handed out over 1,400 Backpacks to returning students since 2008.
The event is aimed at students from pre-kindergarten up to college. Backpacks filled with school supplies will be given out free to attendees while supplies last. Also, 250 people will be able to enjoy a free food giveaway.
There will be plenty of games, hands-on crafts, workshops for parents, free hygiene kits, and a raffle draw. Vendors will also be on hand to promote their products and services related to children and education.
Sponsors are being asked to donate 500 backpacks each to make sure everyone who needs a one gets one. The event may also give vendors attending a chance to network with their peers and to develop new relationships with members of the public.
This annual event regularly attracts people from all around the area, including nearby Hayward. Some of the giveaways may involve promotional items that could have been created by local printing companies.
The Back to School Bash will be held at the Rainbow Recreation Center in Oakland on August 16 from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm. Admission is free. To learn more about the event, or to donate backpacks, call 510-847-2980.Get a Free Quote for Backpacks
