NEW ORLEANS – Manning Family Children’s will host the third annual Back to School Boogaloo, presented by Louisiana Healthcare Connections – a free health, wellness and resource fair for New Orleans students and families!
With more than 30 event partners, including the New Orleans Health Department, NOLA Public Library and Audubon Nature Institute, families can engage with resources they can use to bolster the health and wellness of their children before school starts.
Families will have access to free vaccinations, sports physicals and primary care and dental resources. In addition, children will have the opportunity to receive free haircuts and school supplies made possible through a donation from Dr. Elise and CJ McCollum (while supplies last).
Families are invited to take advantage of this event to prepare for the school year ahead and enjoy an array of activities for kids and families, free food donated by LEMOINE and Blue Runner, games, live music and more.
When:
Saturday, July 26
10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Where:
Joe W. Brown Park, Recreation Center
5601 Read Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70127
How:
Admission is free. Last year, more than 2,000 students received free school supplies at Back to School Boogaloo. These are available until supplies run out, so families are encouraged to attend early.
