Back-to-School Success with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta

ATLANTA—As the new school year begins, we at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta are excited to reflect on our Back-to-School event, where we successfully distributed 1,000 bookbags filled with essential school supplies. Our mission to prepare and empower our Littles for the academic year was further enhanced with free haircuts, good food, and refreshing beverages.

This event wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support from our corporate partners. A special thank you goes out to Aprio, Colliers, Fiserv, Newell Brands, and WellStar Health System for their generous contributions. Your commitment to our cause has made a significant impact on the lives of many young students.
