🎒✨ THE SPREADING HOPE BACK TO SCHOOL BASH WAS A TOTAL SUCCESS!!! ✨🎒

What an incredible day of community, connection, education and FUN! From the classes and entertainment to the resources, school supplies and giveaways, everything came together in an AWESOME way for the youth and families of our community.

We are incredibly grateful to every sponsor, vendor and donor who contributed in their own unique way to make this event possible. Whether you gave resources, funding, products, services, time or simply showed up ready to serve—THANK YOU! ❤️

But our BIGGEST THANK YOU AND SHOUT OUT goes to the MANY VOLUNTEERS who used their hands and feet to bring this event to life! 🙌🏾

You worked. You served. You carried. You organized. You greeted families. You passed out supplies. You solved problems. You did whatever needed to be done—and you did it with love and care.

The heart each volunteer showed was truly appreciated and inspiring. An event of this magnitude simply does not happen without people willing to serve. We saw you, we appreciate you, and we THANK YOU! 💙

🎒 COMMUNITY, WE COULD USE YOUR HELP!

A huge THANK YOU to our longtime community partners, 918 Riderz MC Clubhouse, for pulling up and showing up for North Tulsa’s youth for the past 8 years! Their continued commitment to providing backpacks for our young people is what community partnership looks like in action.

As we prepare to serve our students, we are still in need of a few school-supply essentials:

📓 Notebook paper
📁 Binders
🖊️ Ink pens

If you would like to donate, please drop off your items at Langston tomorrow morning, Saturday, August 15, before 9:30 AM.

Whether you donate one pack of paper, a few binders, a box of pens, or enough supplies for several students, every contribution helps us make sure our young people are prepared to start the school year ready to learn.

It takes a village, and for the past 10 years, our village has continued to answer the call. ❤️

Help us finish strong! Donate. Share. Spread the word.
