Northern Nevada Dream Center hosts Back To School Bash Saturday at Carson City's Fuji Park
The Northern Nevada Dream Center’s 4th annual Back To School Bash is happening this Saturday, August 20 from 4 to 6 pm. In partnership with Lifepoint Church and Shine A Jesus Church, the Bash will be held at Fuji Park at 601 Old Clear Creek Road in Carson City.
The Dream Center will be distributing more than 1,000 backpacks stuffed with school supplies, free groceries for families and other surprises!
The Carson City Lions Club will provide free vision screenings during the Bash and Western Nevada Safe Routes to School program mascot Safety Sally will be on hand to pass out swag and safety materials.
Families will receive a gift from Ashlee’s Toy Closet and Kona Ice will provide treats to students. Firefighters from the Carson City Fire Department will offer tours of their firetruck and the Greater Nevada Credit Union G-Bus will be there with giveaways and games for the kids.
This community event is free and is open to students in need in grades K-12, who are enrolled in Douglas or Carson City School Districts. Backpacks will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and students must be present.
“The past few years have been difficult for everyone, especially for parents and students,” says Dream Center founder Susan Sorenson. “The Bash is just one way for us to show that we are here for them as the new school year approaches.”
