Now that I've finally made it home, I can share a little more.
This year has been one of the most stressful years as a nonprofit, but when God is in it, nothing can come against it.
Today, Monique Young and I successfully hosted our 3rd Annual Back-to-School Bash + 2nd year with Richland County Recreation, and my heart is so full. ❤️
First, I have to give a huge thank you to Taylor R. Pringle for showing up at 9:00 a.m. and hitting the ground running with me. Whew, Jesus! We were in there working and sweating from the very beginning.
To every volunteer who stepped in, THANK YOU! You all made our jobs so much lighter this year. Last year, Monique and I worked nonstop. This year, because of your help, we were able to capture memories, record videos, fly the drone, and create content things we didn't have time to do last year.
A special thank you to our volunteers & informational vendors:
💙 Dionna Williams Bush
💙 Kevin Murphy
💙 Aapri Darby
💙 Beautiful Beats by Kay & Glosses by Kayla
💙 My yougest children
💙 Monique's son
💙 Kendra Wise
💙 Clarence Rodgers Jr
💙 Kellie Green
💙 Hot Rod Ice Cream who traveled from Winnsboro, SC, to serve ice cream to the kids
💙 Our Italian Ice vendor
💙 Big DM
💙 Blue Cross Blue Shield
💙 Richland County Library
💙 Pringle Financial Services
And finally, thank you to every individual, ministry, and small business that sowed into this event over the last four months. Your donations, support, prayers, and belief in our mission helped make this day possible.
From the bottom of our hearts...thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! We couldn't have done it without you.
Now y'all make sure you watch the video below! I'm having too much fun creating content with all my new gadgets, and this is just the beginning.
Until next time... Toodles! 💙🎒✨
Over 1000 bookbags, school supplies and 450 free ice-cream + Italian Ice giving out.
