July 27, 2024

In collaboration with the event host, Our Village Okeechobee, the Tobacco Free Partnership of Okeechobee sponsored and participated in the 6th annual back to school expo.

As the new school year begins, there’s no better way to show support for our local students and families than by supporting a back-to-school event. This event help provide essential school supplies, resources, and a sense of community to ensure every child is ready for success.

The partnership’s involvement in the annual back-to-school event, allows businesses and organizations to make a direct, positive impact on the families of Okeechobee. Sponsorship funds help cover the cost of supplies, educational activities, and even refreshments for students and parents. Beyond financial support, sponsors can also participate by hosting booths, offering giveaways, or organizing fun activities to engage attendees.

This event is a win-win for both the community and local businesses. It builds goodwill, strengthens community ties, and shows a commitment to investing in the future generation. Whether you’re a small business or a large corporation, your contribution can help set the tone for a successful school year, ensuring no student is left behind.
