BACK-TO-SCHOOL 2023
Style Saves hosted it’s 13th annual Back-To-School event on August 12th & 13th at the MANA Wynwood Convention Center. A total of 15,000 students attended the event for a weekend filled with fun and all things school!
Each year, Back-To-School event is themed, this year being Circus, Style Saves hosted an extremely successful event for students and families to come ‘shop’ for new uniforms, sneakers, school supplies and accessories in a department store-style setting.
A very special addition to this years event was Starlion Distribution’s generous donation of 10inch smart tablets to the students. Additionally, the students had the choice of opting in and paying $10 to receive their tablet with 4G LTE internet service for the next three years. Starlion’s goal was to make sure the students have access to reliable internet in school without having to worry about another bill.
“As we continue to grow and expand every year, we hope to eventually bring this important community initiative to other cities that desperately need it.” - Rachael Russell Saiger, Style Saves President
