LIVE OAK — The annual Back to School Bash will be held Saturday at Suwannee High School.
The event will last from 9-11 a.m.
The Back to School Bash was started 16 years ago by Christ Central and Pastor Wayne Godsmark.
Godsmark eventually reached out to the Suwannee Coalition to help organize the event and expand it in the community.
The annual event gives away backpacks filled with paper, crayons, pencils and other essential school items for students from kindergarten through the 12th grade.
Last year 1,000 backpacks were given away.
