Fuel Their Dreams: A Back to School Block Party
More than a backpack giveaway, Fuel Their Dreams is a celebration of community – bringing together students, families, educators, and local organizations for an afternoon of fun, connection, and resources to help kick off a successful school year.
Hosted by Edwards Injury Law in partnership with the Cherry Community Association and Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church – this free event is designed to equip students for the year ahead while connecting families with valuable resources and celebrating the strength of our community.
Join us for:
- Free backpacks and school supplies (while supplies last)
- Live DJ and entertainment
- Food trucks and refreshments
- A Kids Zone with bounce houses and family activities
- A Family Resource Village featuring CMS and community organizations dedicated to helping families thrive
