Event overview

Breakthrough is hosting a Trunk Party Aug 4, 2018, for 50 high school graduates from our community. A trunk party is a celebration for someone who is getting ready to head off to college. At the party, guests fill the student’s “trunk” with essentials for college- such as bedding, towels, toiletries, laundry supplies, and more. We are asking our Breakthrough donors and volunteers to help us throw this party and provide the items our students need as they head off to college. We hope to send them to college with everything they need as well as lots of love. Below are two links with a list of items that will be useful for first semester students in college. Feel free to bring any items you wish to donate. 1. http://www.breakthrough.org/site/assets/files/1548/trunk_party_items_v4.pdf 2. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/18CCOONXQERVL?&sort=default
