LQ's "Back 2 School" Giveaway Block Party Event

LQ's Performing Arts Center would like to be placed in a position on August 22nd, to offer the kids in our community with free school supplies. This "Back 2 School" Block Party Event will take place on the streets that are located adjacent to the LQ's PerformingArtsCenter's physical location (1300 19th Street, Bakersfield, CA93301).

From the hours of 11a-4p, the kids of the community will be able to partake in the various forms of entertainment (dance performances, motivational speakers, musical performances, magician presentations, and games), face painting, and FREE performing arts instructional classes. On top of that, each child will be able to receive free food, drinks, and school supplies.

It is our hope at LQ's Performing Arts Center to be able to create a fun, enjoyable, motivational, and memorable day that each child can experience before they return to school on August 24th.

If we could do our part in making sure that every child is prepared to learn and succeed by the time school starts, then we can help set the foundation for a bright future.

LQ's Performing Arts Center would like to incorporate the different companies that have benefited from the parents of these kids. We are asking everyone to lend a hand with a monetary donation, in which would be used to purchase the necessary school supplies, entertainment, food, and street permit to host the event.

Please visit our webiste, www.lqspac.org, and click the "Donate" and donate $10. Thank you in advance for your support. If you are interested in being a sponsor or vendor for this event, please make sure to contact LQ’s PerformingArtsCenter by July 17^th.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a blessed week!

Sincerely,

LaQuette Miner, LQ's Director
