Book Bag Giveaway
What started as a backpack distribution has grown into something much bigger. When the Dream Keepers Foundation held its first Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway, our vision was simple: Honor our late brother, Dr. Terrence "Newt" Newton by helping students begin the school year with confidence and remind families that their community believes in them.
Today, our annual event represents collaboration, service, and hope. It has become a place where nonprofit organizations, businesses, churches, volunteers, educators, and community leaders come together with one common goal—to make sure every child starts the school year feeling prepared, encouraged, and valued.
Looking Back
Our first events proved one important thing: when a community works together, amazing things happen.
Together we have:
* Distributed backpacks filled with school supplies to local students.
* Connected families with valuable community resources.
* Provided free haircuts to help students look and feel their best.
* Offered food, entertainment, games, and family-friendly activities.
* Created opportunities for local organizations to serve together instead of separately.
One of our proudest moments came when more than 150 students walked away with backpacks and smiles, while families enjoyed a day designed just for them.
Every volunteer, donor, sponsor, and supporter helped make that possible.
