The August 10<\/strong>, the CPSC Main dans la main celebrated the 9th annual Back-to-School Festival<\/strong>, and for the very first time at its new location. It was a day filled with smiles, new connections, and wonderful moments that reminded us, once again, of the strength of our community.<\/p>

This year, 170 backpacks<\/strong> Backpacks filled with school supplies were given to the children so they could start the school year with everything they need. But the Back-to-School Celebration is also an opportunity to enjoy a day designed especially for the children and their families.<\/p>

Throughout the day, families were able to enjoy haircuts<\/strong>, of a rmeals and snacks<\/strong>, in addition to participating in several activities. Inflatable Play Structure<\/strong>, costume makeup<\/strong>, smoothie bike<\/strong> and even a tour of COWI<\/strong>, the official mascot of the City of Cowansville, were there!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This year, we set a goal of 12,000 $. Thanks to a response that exceeded all our expectations, we ultimately reached 25,750 $ in monetary and in-kind donations<\/strong> which were raised\u2014more than double our initial goal.<\/p>

At a time when the cost of living and back-to-school expenses are placing significant strain on many families, this generosity allows us to provide tangible support to the children we serve, while also giving them a positive and unifying experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
