Shopping for school supplies can be such a fun time for families, but for some, it is stressful when money is tight.
Palisades Center has partnered with Bronx Visionary to help lighten the load for some families this back-to-school season. Their Back to School Give Back event Saturday, August 10, from 1pm to 4pm. This community-focused event will take place on Level One next to H&M and promises a day filled with fun, music, and valuable services for families preparing for the upcoming school year.
“This event is a fantastic opportunity to give back to our community and ensure that children are well-prepared for the upcoming school year,” said Darrin Houseman, General Manager of Palisades Center. “We are thrilled to partner with Bronx Visionary and provide these valuable resources to local families.”
Attendees can look forward to an afternoon of entertainment and essential resources, including:
- Music and Live Performances: Enjoy performances from local artists and entertainers.
- Character Meet and Greets: Sponsored by Bouncy House Magic, children can meet and interact with their favorite characters.
- Elmo: 1pm – 2pm
- Bluey: 2pm – 3pm

- Free Child ID Finger Printing: Provided by New York Life for added peace of mind.
- Free Hair Cuts: Ensure your kids look their best for the new school year.

**Parents and guardians can register their child for a FREE backpack by emailing [email protected]. The free backpacks are not guaranteed for every registrant. Bronx Visionary will send formal email confirmations to the recipients of the free backpacks. Parents or guardians must attend the event on August 10th with the registered child to receive the school supplies.
