Big Backpack Event July 25 at Skatium

The Multicultural Centre of SWFL is once again hosting Lee County’s biggest back-to-school outreach event, the Big Backpack Event. Celebrating its 22nd year, the event is taking place at the Fort Myers Skatium this Sunday, July 25 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Multicultural Centre will provide the first 2,000 students ages 5 to 12 with new backpacks and school supplies, as well as full grocery bags to the first 1,000 families, as families go through the carline for curbside pickup.

A DJ and fire trucks will be there on Sunday to make some noise and keep the families entertained while in the car line.
