Back to School Extravaganza

July 2024

The Raymond K. Jones Foundation’s Back to School Extravaganza was a day rooted in hope, care, and opportunity for our youth. By equipping students with essential school supplies and surrounding them with community support, the event helped children start the school year feeling confident, valued, and ready to succeed. Each supply represented symbolized belief and investment into the youth's future.
