Colorado Springs, we’re just ONE WEEK away from the Last Chance for Fun: Back-to-School Bash! 💜

We’re excited to bring our community together for one last summer celebration before the school year begins. Whether you’re coming to enjoy the entertainment, connect with local organizations, meet community partners, or simply spend time with family and friends, there’s something for everyone!

✨ Here’s what you can look forward to:
🎭 Live performances throughout the evening
🎭 Character performers & cosplayers
💃 Dance performances
🎤 Local musicians and entertainers
🎪 Vendors & community organizations
🎒 School supplies and hygiene giveaways
🎉 Family games and activities
🎁 Giveaways & raffles
🚑 Meet local first responders and community resources

This event is about celebrating our community and helping families head into the school year feeling supported.

If you’d still like to help, we’re continuing to accept donations of school supplies, toiletries, and hygiene products through event day. Every contribution helps us serve even more local families, but most importantly, we’d love to see you there!

We’re seeking two local sponsors (restaurants, food trucks, businesses, churches, or families) to help provide a simple meal like hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and drinks.
