The 30th annual fair returned to Fair Park on August 7, bringing together families, community organizations, volunteers and corporate partners to provide students with backpacks, school supplies, health screenings, haircuts, immunizations and other resources. More than 5,600 families and 12,800 students registered for this year’s event, which featured 183 booths and more than 650 community volunteers. Dallas Mavericks Director of Corporate Social Responsibility Sean Reed and Walmart Marketing Manager Adrian Maese shared why investing in Dallas students and families remains important to their organizations. After three decades, the Mayor’s Back to School Fair continues to show what can happen when businesses, nonprofits, volunteers and the community come together around Dallas students.
