We are back!
Our 4th annual back to school supply drive event hosted by Delux Designs (DE), LLC and Stay On Go Clothing & Creations, LLC will be held Saturday, August 05, 2017 at the YMCA in Chester, South Carolina!
Every year for the last 4 years we have hosted a back to school drive to provide school supplies to local area schools students in the Upstate area of South Carolina. This is a free, family friendly event where everyone is welcome to come and not only pick up school supplies, but to also enjoy activities, games, live music, and food provided for the community. Supply donations and monetary donations for supplies are now being accepted either online at our go fund me page at the link listed below, or physically in person with us if you are located in the South Carolina area.
Last year, we were able to help towards providing school supplies to over 800 school students in the Upstate of South Carolina area including Chester and Spartanburg, South Carolina. This year we intend to do the same if not for more students.
