2019 Community Youth Day
2/19/2019 (Permalink)
Our Account Manager, Miranda Winter, is part of the 2019 Leadership Bulloch Class. Each class has to plan and execute a class project. Miranda's class decided to sponsor a Community Youth Day at Luetta More Park in downtown Statesboro this past weekend. The park’s proximity to small communities and neighborhoods makes it a popular hang out for kids and families of all ages. Since Leadership Bulloch is a Chamber sponsored program, the class is not allowed to raise funds for the class project so they began asking local businesses if they would like to donate items such as soaps, toothbrushes, food, and more around November to make this event possible.The class was able to collect enough items to make over 300 care packages to give away to the kids and families. The class also provided free food and drinks for everyone to enjoy. There were a variety of activites and games for the kids to enjoy. They also had the opportunity to tour the Statesboro Police vehicles and the Statesboro Fire Department trucks. The event was such a success that the Statesboro Youth Commission would like to carry on for years to come. We enjoyed being a small part of this wonderful event!
