Back to School DAE

The DAE Foundation presents Back to School DAE

Join us and play some basketball on open court, pick-up free school supplies and new-to-you sporting equipment, & enjoy Paisano’s Pizza.

From 1 to 2 pm donate your gently-used sports equipment. Too big, too small, your child lost interest? Donate equipment and provide other children the opportunity to play! All donations are tax deductible. You will receive a donation slip at the gym.

From 2 to 4 pm pick up new-to-you equipment. Our community comes together to provide for a need and we are happy to provide school supplies and gently used equipment to lowcountry families. Kids also have the opportunity to shoot some hoops and eat some pizza provided by our community sponsor Paisano’s Pizza.

The event takes place at St. Andrew’s Gym on Sundae, August 13th.

 

Supporting the event through school supply donations from their staff, Charleston County Department of Public Safety volunteer educators will also be on hand to educate the community about public safety related to fire safety, medical safety, natural disasters, the criminal justice system, and to introduce career opportunities in the field. 

The community is asked to donate school supplies and gently-used sporting equipment to contribute to the effort. All donations are tax-deductible, and there will be itemized donation slips available the day of the event. Drop off locations are all Barrelli Barber, Stella Nova, and Paisano’s Pizza.
