Back in School Giveaway to happen at UBS Arena

Haven’t finished shopping for school this year? Have no fear, UBS Arena will host a Back-in-School Giveaway and Autoshow Sept. 10.

The event has since been postponed as of Sept. 8 due to weather conditions for the weekend.

Students can receive backpacks, stationary and more at the event that has parents covered if they couldn’t get to the store before the first day of school for needed school supplies. Registration online for the event giveaway is mandatory to ensure that people don’t leave empty handed.

“We want to make sure that when a family comes to an event, they’re provided with a backpack, we don’t want to turn anyone away,” Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages said. “So we’re encouraging everyone to register beforehand to make sure that we have enough for everyone.”

Community members who just want to come out and enjoy the car show, win prizes and enjoy the first weekend of the school year are all welcome.

The event will partner with the Nassau County Police Department, Solages’ office, Community Affairs and Showing Hearts Foundation and more to provide fun for all. For more information about the event, contact Solages' office.
