The last day of summer can be a touch bittersweet, yet it comes with the anticipation of a new school year starting. More than that, it means the families of Bonton get the opportunity to be a part of our annual I Got Your Back event and finish their summer in excitement!
Through God’s provision and the generosity of our supporters, 200 kids in Bonton received backpacks loaded with essentials to take on their school year: notebooks, folders, pens, pencils, paper, toiletries- all they need to ensure they’re prepared for classes.
Since it was the last event of the summer, we made sure it was a big event, replete with hamburgers and hot dogs, snow cones, a DJ spinning all the hits, barbers dealing out fades, as well as nail-polishers and face-painters making everyone look amazing!
Our hope for I Got Your Back is to bless the kids of this community and empower them to become impactful leaders as they grow up. These kids have tremendous potential, and these school supplies will hopefully serve as a token of all our belief in them and help them achieve their goals.
We’re so grateful for all the help we received from Prestonwood Baptist Church, Campisi’s Restaurant, Mercy Street Dallas, and all of you that donated toward this event. Thank you so much for supporting the children of Bonton and making this happen.
