Prepared for Purpose

Back-to-School community day with haircuts, speakers, vendors, food & games. Fundraiser for Phase 2 of the 91 Restoration

Prepared for Purpose is a powerful community event designed to equip families, uplift students, and support the vision of the 91 Restoration Wellness Center Phase 2.

As we prepare students for the new school year, this day will bring together the community for a celebration of purpose, confidence, and restoration.

Families can enjoy a full day of activities including free and discounted back-to-school haircuts, inspirational speakers, community resources, games, vendors, and great food. Students will receive encouragement and practical support as they step into the new school year prepared, confident, and inspired.
