Local Supporting Local Supporting Local!
Gary Spears from Mix 102.5 and Lisa Briggs, owner of Whitesboro and Clinton Fit Body Bootcamp put together the Mix School Supply Drive and brought it to us because they know we can get it to the kids that need it most!
Not only did they bring us a ton ofschool supplies, Mix 102.5 also put together a video of how it all came together and how local supporting local makes our community stronger! In it, Lisa shares: “Proximity is powerful. We love to teach young kids ‘power of the people’ to help one another be successful.” They have definitely made a big impact on the kids in our local community.
Gear Up For Greatness Back to School Event was a Success!
The week before school, our City of Utica School District System of Care, Children's Youth ACT and SNUG Utica teams collaborated to get our Utica District students ready for their first day!
Children were able to hand pick their supplies, enjoy food and music, and receive a haircut or a braided style from local barbers and hair stylists!
Over 600 backpacks handed out! Over 100 children got their hair done!
