The Northern Nevada Dream Center’s 5th Annual Back To School Bash is happening this Friday, August 11th, from 6 to 8 p.m. The Bash will be held at the Marv Teixeira Pavilion at Mills Park in Carson City.
The Dream Center will be distributing 1,000 backpacks stuffed with school supplies to students in need, free groceries for families and other surprises. Special guest Carson City Mayor Lori Bagwell will be there to help with the backpack distribution.
Event activities:
- Free vision screenings by the Carson City Host Lions Club.
- Free swag and safety materials from Safety Sally with the Western Nevada Safe Routes to School program.
- Firefighters from the Carson City Fire Department will offer tours of their firetruck and the Greater Nevada Mortgage G-Bus will be there with giveaways and games for the kids.
- The Carson City Railroad Society will be giving free rides on the Mill’s Park train during the event and the Chick-Fil-A Cow will be there too.
- Students won’t want to miss the Carson City Sheriff’s Canine and Motorcycle officers, along with NVigate, Tooth Fairy Pediatric Dental, Mama Meet Ups at Shine and the Carson City Boxing Club.
Attendees have a chance to win a $250 Grocery Outlet gift card, thanks to Mike and Bobbie at the Carson City Grocery Outlet store.
This community event is free and is open to students in need in grades K-12 in Carson, Douglas, Storey and Lyon counties. Backpacks will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and students must be present and accompanied by a parent or guardian.
“This event not only provides students with a new backpack and school supplies, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed, but also brings excitement, motivation and new dreams for their future,” says Susan Sorenson, Executive Director of the Northern Nevada Dream Center.
