Dear Ward 8 Residents,

I am excited to kick off the summer months and bring you a number of engaging activities. We are prepared to partner with several organizations to bring well needed resources into our community.

Amongst our summer activities will include our annual back to school event. It may feel early, but we want to ensure that we impact Ward 8 students in a big way.

This year, my office is partnering with FiveBelow to provide 2,500 backpacks and school supplies to Ward 8 scholars. We hope to provide supplementary resources such as uniform vouchers, tennis shoes, hygiene kits, barbers & braiders, gift cards, tablets and more. Ward 8 youth will enjoy water slide inflatables, moon bounces, outdoor obstacle courses, food and a live DJ.

Here is how you can help:
* Donate School Supplies: Backpacks, pens, pencils, glue, markers, notebooks, erasers, 3-ring binders, crayons, index cards, line paper, disposable masks, hand sanitizer, kleenex boxes, tape, pencil pouches, rulers, scissors, folders, etc. Schedule a pickup or delivery with Kimberly Harper at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .
* Vendors/Partners: We are looking for braiders, barbers, nail technicians and related vendors to help us by sending a child back to school with confidence. Use this link to sign up: [link removed]. ([link removed])
* Make a Monetary Donation: Checks should be made payable to the “Do Something Constituent Services Fund” and cannot exceed $500 or purchase a visa gift card. As a sponsor, your logo will be included on all marketing materials, landing page, posters and press releases. For more information, email Jules Jessie at [email protected] ([link removed])

I look forward to working alongside you to make this event possible for our scholars.

Councilmember Trayon White, Sr.
