What started as a mission to help 12 children has grown into a region-wide movement supporting over 2,500 students across Central Texas. Back to School Extravaganza is a nonprofit organization providing essential school supplies, clothing, and confidence to children from economically challenged families. Through shopping days, community events, and our annual fundraising gala, we help ensure students start the school year equipped to succeed. But our work goes deeper—every backpack we give is paired with love, hope, and a message of faith, inspiring families to carry that light forward.
We’re more than school supplies—we’re a movement of hope, generosity, and life-changing support for students in need.

Become a Sponsor and Help Us Reach Our Goal for 2026
Access to school supplies and resources is fundamental to a child’s confidence, engagement, and overall success in the classroom. Yet every year, countless underserved students begin the school year without the basic tools they need—like backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and clothing. This lack of essentials creates immediate barriers to learning, limits participation, and can deeply affect a child’s self-esteem and sense of belonging.
When you sponsor the Back to School Extravaganza, you’re not just donating supplies—you’re investing in a child’s future. Your support helps level the playing field, empowering students to focus on their education, pursue their dreams, and believe in their potential. It sends a powerful message that their community believes in them and their ability to succeed. Together, we have the opportunity to break the cycle of hardship and create a ripple effect of hope, confidence, and achievement.
