The 2024-25 school year is right around the corner, and this year’s Backpack Bash is coming to a campus near you the first week of August.
This annual event provides school supplies, enrollment support and other resources, while connecting RISD families to programs and services in a festive back-to-school atmosphere. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to start the school year confidently with all the tools they need to succeed.
We are so grateful for the many sponsors and donors who have provided the resources and volunteers to help us provide backpacks and school supplies on Aug. 6.
