The 8th annual Kid’z Expo & back to school

This past 3rd of August, we carried out one of our most cherished traditions and one of our most favorite events of the year, the 2019 Kid’z Expo & Back to School.
An annual party we throw for our little ones going back to school, in which we give away 2,500 backpacks. The event took place, at the El Pueblo Center, just like we have done it the past 8 years, and of course we did it with a big blow out of fun, games, raffles, and much more.

We kicked things off with Oliver the clown and his super funny show, later on we saw the little ones at Folclorico Tapatio Infantil doing their traditional Mexican dances. We continued the fun with Ross the Magician, who tricked our eyes more than once, and enjoyed the beautiful
music of Fundacion Musical, who made us dance to their tune.

Finally, we wrapped up our lineup of fun with a special Dance by the Beauty and the Beast, and spend the last hour raffling all sorts of surprises like tablets, laptops, bicycles, cellphones, and more, all donated by our sponsors and vendors.

A very special thank you to the following organizations who donated water and bicycles: Innovation Tax services, Richard Barker Foundation, Tucson Unified School District, Savvi International, Lugo Foundation and Ward 5, Zion City Church, Zoe Church, and Iglesia Evangelica Gentil de Cristo “Templo Getsemani”.

A very special thank you as well to the Tucson Police department for providing free Booster Seats for the children of our community, and of course the Mexican Consulate in Tucson for donating free textbooks.
