Presented by For the Kid in All of Us, an Atlanta-based non-profit organization whose mission it is to brighten the lives of Georgia’s children in need, will present the 6th annual Backpack in the Park. The community picnic and back-to-school benefit event seeks to top last year’s record when more than 1,600 backpacks filled with school supplies and gift cards were collected.
In addition to complimentary food and beverages, the family-friendly event will have fun activities for people of all ages, including various carnival games and a balloon wall with tons of prizes. Popular local DJ Vicki Powell will be on hand to keep the party going. To attend, please bring a new unwrapped backpack filled with school supplies or a gift card valued at $30 or more. Paid parking is available at Piedmont Park in the SAGE parking deck.
