PEACE, Inc.’s Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) program wrapped up summer on a high note with its Annual Backpack Giveaway, generously sponsored by Barclay Damon LLP. Held at Anthony J. Santaro Memorial Park, the event brought together around 60 attendees—including Bigs, Littles, and their families—for an afternoon full of fun, connection, and back-to-school excitement.

Thanks to Barclay Damon’s support, each Little received a brand-new backpack filled with school supplies—a meaningful boost to help kick off a strong, successful academic year. The joy was unmistakable, with smiles all around as kids dove into creative activities like sand art, stained glass coloring, cornhole, and a water balloon toss. Raffle prizes added an extra layer of excitement, offering Bigs and Littles the chance to win and celebrate together.
