About this Event

Join Angel of Edgewood for our 6th Annual Back to School Extravaganza at Dunkin' Park in Hartford, Connecticut.

This year's theme, "Beyond the Backpack: Where Knowledge Changes Communities," reflects our commitment to doing more than providing school supplies. We believe education has the power to strengthen families, create opportunities, and transform entire communities.

Families will enjoy an afternoon filled with free backpacks for eligible students, school supplies, educational resources, health and wellness information, community organizations, family activities, giveaways, and connections to valuable services that support children and families throughout the year.

Students from Pre-K (age 4) through college/university are eligible to receive a backpack while supplies last. The student must be present to receive a backpack.

Our goal is to ensure that every child begins the school year feeling prepared, confident, and supported while connecting families with organizations and resources that promote long-term success beyond the classroom.

This event is free to attend but registration is required. Please review all event policies before registering. We look forward to welcoming you and your family as we celebrate education, community, and a successful start to the new school year.
