LINC: Back 2 School Bash

Did you know that kids learn to read until third grade, after which they read to learn? That’s why early education and literacy support is so important! Join us to pack backpacks with supplies for local students – helping them to start the school year with the tools they need to succeed. Because when more kids have what they need to keep pace with their classmates, our entire community is smarter and better positioned to succeed across generations.

Backpacks from this event will go to children and families receiving services from The Road Home Dane County (a United Way partner nonprofit dedicated to ending family homelessness in Dane County).

If cost is a barrier to attending, please reach out to [email protected] for a complimentary ticket.

Help us reach our goal of providing 250 backpacks! Together, we can make a difference in the lives of families and teachers in our community. In addition to attending LINC’s Back 2 School Bash, you can help by:
