Back to School Health Fair at Dallas UITC-08/15/2009
The 2009 Back to School Health Fair was held at the Dallas Urban Inter Tribal Center (UITC). The event coordinated by Stephanie Villanueva and supported by multiple generous vendors and 41 volunteers was a huge success!
This year the UITC gave out 212 back packs during the day long event. Additional back packs were given out to the Dallas ISD and Fort Worth ISD for distribution. In addition to receiving dental and medical screenings, participants had so much fun. There were games, arts and crafts that kept the students and volunteers very busy. There were lots of smiles everywhere you looked. Steve Cardwell and his daughter Katrina Cardwell donated numerous hours to the event as well as sponsoring the full school supply list that went into the backpacks, the pizza for the volunteers, and the snow cone and popcorn machines. Brenco Industries provided many volunteers to assist with the Back to School Health Fair activities. Office Depot generously donated all of the backpacks. Dallas Children’s Charities and Citizen Potawatomi were also Sponsors of the event. Volunteers ended the day with a warm feeling in their heart just knowing they had helped children in the community start the 2009 school year with a little more pride and the knowledge that many people truly care about their success.
