🎒 Back 2 School Bash
The Back 2 School Bash is an annual community celebration hosted by Northwest Montana United Way designed to help local students start the school year confident, prepared, and excited to learn.
A Strong Start for Every Student
As families across Northwest Montana prepare for a new school year, the cost of backpacks, supplies, clothing, and other essentials can add up quickly. The Back 2 School Bash brings the community together to ease that burden and ensure every child has the tools they need to succeed.
Through generous community donations, sponsorships, and volunteer support, the event provides:
🎒 Free backpacks filled with grade-appropriate school supplies
📚 Access to essential educational resources
💇 Haircuts and hygiene items (when available)
🍎 Snacks, activities, and family-friendly entertainment
🤝 Connections to local nonprofits and community services
More Than Supplies — A Community Celebration
The Back 2 School Bash is about more than distributing materials — it’s about building confidence and strengthening community connections. Children leave not only equipped for the classroom, but encouraged and supported by the neighbors who care about their success.
Local businesses, service organizations, and volunteers come together in a spirit of collaboration, transforming the event into a welcoming, high-energy celebration of education and opportunity.
Powered by Community Generosity
The success of the Back 2 School Bash is made possible by donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers who believe that every child deserves an equal opportunity to thrive in school. Contributions stay local, directly benefiting families right here in Northwest Montana.
