Reliant back-to-school community events: August 2012

Both Reliant back-to-school community events were a huge success! Hundreds of Dallas students and their parents attended the events, where they had the opportunity to pick up their school supply packets donated by Reliant, to get an autographed picture with the Dallas Cowboys’ mascot, Rowdy, and to get their faces painted. Reliant had over 500 school supply packets to give away to the local students.

Overall, there were approximately 300 people to attend the event at the MLK Center and about 500 people at the West Dallas event. Photos from the event have been included.
