More than 1,000 children will receive free health and dental screenings. They will also receive book bags filled with all of the school supplies that are necessary to start their school year off on the right foot! This fun-filled event will feature the musical stylings of local DJ Ben-Hop, games, refreshments, and fun will be the order of the day.
