Sponsorship
The Bash depends entirely on community support. Last year, the community donated more than $20,000 in backpack sponsorship, food and services. This year, we are seeking $20,000 for backpacks alone, so we can give away a total of 1,000 backpacks - 200 more than last year. We order backpacks through a school supplier, and they average about $16 each. Please speak with your church leaders or coworkers and consider supporting this important cause. Supporting students with school supplies is supporting them with the gift of confidence on the first day of school.
1 = $16
10 = $160
50 = $800
100 = $1,600
Sponsors have begun to donate to support the 2017 event. Donations must be submitted by July 1, so that backpacks can be ordered. Sponsors will be recognized in print, online and on social media. They will also receive Proud Sponsor window clings for their business or church. With questions about sponsorship, please email bekah.price@ecschools.net or call 547-8000. Feel free to share the Back-2-School Bash Flyer at your places of business and worship as well.
