On July 11, 2026, the President’s Banquet Center at Bethune-Cookman University was buzzing with excitement as we hosted our Back to School Giveaway! Powered by a wonderful partnership between TOLA Solutions INC and Behavioral Xpressions, the day was all about connecting our community and ensuring our local youth are geared up and ready for a successful school year in Daytona Beach.

📝 Equipping Our Youth for Success

The energy was absolutely incredible as families from all over the community came out to join us. Our amazing volunteers—many showing their support for the 5th Annual BIPOC Mental Health & Wellness Summit—were on hand with huge smiles to distribute essential supplies to the kids.

Here is a quick look at what we were able to provide for the students:

School Supplies: Fresh bags, lots of pens, pencils, and the everyday writing essentials needed to start the year right.
Fun & Games: A huge assortment of toys—including Marvel gear, Nerf toys, matching games, and craft kits—to keep the creativity flowing outside of the classroom.
Snacks: Plenty of grab-and-go treats like Cheetos, Fritos, and Doritos to keep the kids fueled and happy!

🤝 Connecting Our Community

At TOLA Solutions INC, our mission is to empower youth, especially those facing mental health or developmental challenges. Events like this giveaway are at the heart of what we do. Through mentorship, academic support, and community engagement, we believe in helping young people build confidence and reach their limitless potential.

Seeing the kids' faces light up as they picked out their supplies was a beautiful reminder of why we do this work. A massive thank you to everyone who registered, attended, and volunteered their time to help out. Special shoutouts to Quatrilya Mathis-Hall and Vanessa Little for their hard work in coordinating the details and making sure everything ran smoothly!
