Dressed for Success!
3rd Annual Back to School Night Starting a new school year can bring significant
expenses to all families, particularly to those who
are financially strained. In an effort to help the
families in our Foundation 3 and The 70/30 Project
programs send their children to school prepared for
success, BCM created the Back to School Night
event.
This year, BCM
hosted its third annual
Back to School Night
on Thursday, July
23rd at Buckhead THRIFTique! Thanks to
our generous donors, the children that
participated in the event received clothing
and shoes purchased specifically in their
sizes and style preferences. While at
Buckhead THRIFTique, volunteers assisted
the children and their families with picking
up their clothes and trying on their new
outfits.
At the end of the night, every child left with
big smiles on their face and excited to go
back to school.
Thank you to all of the donors and volunteers that supported the event!
