Bearpaw will once again partner with the Ticket to Dream Foundation for the 3rd Annual Back to School Bash. The event hosts foster youth from the Sacramento, CA, area for a fun-filled day to help get them excited and ready for the upcoming school year. Last year’s event not only gave over 130 foster youth a memorable day of play, it also provided them with free Bearpaw boots, backpacks and an abundance of school supplies.
“The BEARPAW team always looks forward to being a part of the Back to School Bash as it is truly one of the highlights of our year,” says John Pierce, president. “In partnership with the Ticket to Dream Foundation, we are able to provide the Sacramento youth with a day full of fun activities, quality footwear and other essentials that will help prepare them for a successful school year.”
“With Bearpaw’s ongoing efforts for the Back to School Bash and additional support throughout the year, we have been able to make a big impact by providing quality, comfortable and stylish shoes to so many children in need,” states Gina Davis, president of Ticket to Dream. “We are thrilled to continue with the program and partnership.”
The Back to School Bash will take place July 14 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00p.m. at Safetyville, USA in Sacramento. This year’s event will include Bearpaw sponsored activities like the Boot Station, Bounce House, Field Day Games and Coloring Station. Additional sponsors include Boudin Bakery, Dave’s Margaritas, Cattlemens Restaurant, Bonneville Sacramento, Devin Wright, Mattress Firm, Sac Star Computer Consulting, League of Heroes and ReCreate.
