We’re giving away 2,000 Sprayground/SpaceJunk brand bags, offering free haircuts for young men, and providing manicures for young ladies.

Info: At the 7th Annual Back to School Empowerment Event, students can select from over 10 different bag styles. Each student must present a wristband with an intact first pull tab to receive a bag. If the tab is missing or detached, it is considered void, and the student will not be eligible to receive a bag. Please note, bags are distributed directly to students only; parents or guardians cannot collect them on behalf of the students.

Info: Visit the Empowerment Salon at our event for free basic haircuts for boys and simple manicures for girls. Services are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to arrive early to secure your spot. Doors close an hour before the end of the event so professionals & volunteers have enough time to complete services.

Info: Check out Empowerment Eats at our event, where local food trucks will be serving up free bites on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Don’t miss out on a taste of delicious, complimentary food!

Info: Dive into Empowerment Entertainment at our event, featuring local DJs, bounce houses, and face painting! Enjoy a variety of fun activities and entertainment scattered across the grounds for an exciting day of celebration and joy.
