Ready2CONNECT, in partnership with the ECSD and the Effingham County Fair Committee, is excited to host Effingham County's 12th Annual Back-2-School Blowout!

Together, we're committed to making this event a success for our community. Join us at the Effingham County Fair Grounds for our first walk-up, in-person, engaging back-to-school event in 3 years!

The Back-2-School Blowout is BACK! Over the last 11 years, community partners & families have joined us in the rain, extreme heat, drive-thru's during COVID-19, and a whirlwind of venues.

Thank you to the hundreds of community members, sponsors, donors, and volunteers who engage with families to share valuable information, resources, and school supplies.

Our very first year, July 2012, we served 263 students.
This year, we are preparing for 1,500!
We need supporters like you to provide this community-wide event! We hope you join us to make this the best year yet!
