The event is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 28 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
While shopping for school supplies, back-to-school shoppers are encouraged to share their school pride for a chance to win gift cards or other prizes from favorite retailers. Throughout the day, elementary through college students representing their school spirit with school colors, wearing team uniforms, sporting a school shirt or hat, or even dressed as the school mascot will be selected at random for prizes.
The Mall as well as participating retailers have partnered with Center for Family Services throughout the month of August to collect and distribute backpacks and school supplies for students in need. Donation bins will be conveniently located in the malls management office for shoppers to place donated items.
Suggested supplies for the drive include:
- Backpacks
- Lunchboxes
- Pens and pencils
- Highlighters
- Colored pencils, crayons, and markers
- Glue sticks
- Folders
- Notebooks
- Loose leaf paper
