Gilda’s Club Evansville to Host Back to School Bash for Tri-State Families Impacted by Cancer

School Supplies Given to Children Touched by Cancer Who Are Going into Kindergarten-6th Grade

Gilda’s Club Evansville is hosting a back to school bash for families in the Tri-State area who have been impacted by cancer. The event will take place on Saturday, July 29, 2017 from 10-11:30am at Cypress Baptist Church located at 5166 Highway 62W in Boonville, Indiana. This year’s event is being sponsored in Memory of Linda Pass.

The event will feature games, snacks, and a blow-up slide, as well as informational booths from community partners. School supplies and backpacks will be available to students going into kindergarten through sixth grade.

“Going back to school should be exciting and fun for kids, but unfortunately, it can be financially difficult especially for families impacted by cancer.” Chelsey Woolsey, Youth Program Coordinator, explained. “We want to make going back to school easier by providing backpacks for those Tri-State students grades K-6^th grade filled with school supplies and having a fun event to celebrate with our families.”

All attendees do need to RSVP for the event by filling out a registration form. The registration form must be returned to Gilda’s Club Evansville by Wednesday, July 26, 2017. Registration forms are available by contacting Chelsey Woolsey at Gilda’s Club – 812-402-8667 or chelsey@gcevv.org.
