Back to School Bash 2026
Since 2014, Good Dad Gang has given away over 10,000 backpacks a year to get kids in the Lawrence community prepped to go back to school with our Annual “Back to School Bash.” Every event has been a huge success thanks to the great support of our community, and our reach continues to grow. In fact, for the second year in a row, we were proud to host two giveaways—successfully expanding our impact with an additional bash in Fall River, MA!
As a movement, we are ensuring students head back to class fully equipped and ready to succeed. This year, together with our community, we are making this 12th Annual bash our best one yet, featuring:
🎒 Free backpacks and school supplies
🌭 Free food and haircuts
🏈 Special appearances from New England Patriots players Pop Douglas and Marcellas Dial, as well as former Patriot Derrick Beasley!
🎟️ Exciting raffles and community fun
🎵 Music by Mic Stylz, hosted by Termanology & Pup Dawg (JAM'N 94.5)
We hope you’ll join us this year to kick off the new school year!
