Siblings Cadence Hickman and Lincoln Wirth and their cousins Dorian Lawson and Damion Robinson model the brand new backpacks filled with supplies they received during the third annual Back-to-School celebration held at Westgate Park on Aug. 28. The community event was hosted by the local non-profit A Step in the Right Direction with the mission of giving children a fun day to play before getting back into the daily school grind while also offering free resources to their parents and guardians to lessen the financial burden of purchasing necessary school items. Approximately 400 backpacks and supplies were donated to the event courtesy of CareSource.
