Our Back2School Block Party is a FREE community event to help parents prepare, protect and inspire your child for the coming school year! Participating students will receive a free book bag from Healthy Blue South Carolina as well as additional school supplies and resources from our corporate and community partners.
In compliance with guidelines regarding mass gatherings, this year's event will be held as a DRIVE-THROUGH event. While we are not able to hold our health and wellness event inside, we will be offering a Virtual Health Fair for families. Please visit this website for updates and follow us on our Facebook page!

PLEASE NOTE CHANGES TO THIS YEAR'S EVENT!
In consideration of health and safety guidelines through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), SC DHEC and AccelerateSC, this year's Back2School Block Party will be held as a special DRIVE-THROUGH event.
Thanks to the generosity of Healthy Blue South Carolina, we will have 2,000 book bags to distribute to local students in need.
How can you help?
Since we will not be able to hold our event inside - where students and parents can collect extra supplies and resources - we will be pre-stuffing back packs and event bags in advance.
Corporate and individual contributions are needed to help fund the basic school supply kits for these students.

These guidelines include offering water and other no-calorie beverages, serving nutritious snacks, providing physical activity breaks for meetings lasting longer than one hour, considering sustainability whenever possible, minimizing sugary treats, and ensuring meetings are held in smoke-free facilities. Creating a culture of health at our meetings and events is an important way to help set a positive example in our community and state.
