On behalf of the Greater Augusta Back to School Program I would like to thank all of our contributors, donators, and volunteers for another huge success at our annual event held at the Augusta Civic Center on Sunday, Aug. 18. We had close to 1,000 kiddos attend and receive the backpack of their choosing, along with a haircut, eye exam and healthy snacks provided by Hannaford & Sam’s Club.
We send to out out a giant shoutout to the city of Augusta and the Augusta Civic Center for hosting our event. Not sure how we could pull this off without your support.
Lastly from all of us on our board, and all of the contributors to our program, we wish every student the best most rewarding year of your lives.
Michael Michaud
