08/20/2011 - FABFAN: Fill a Backpack Fill a Need

The annual FABFAN is happening in Wausau this morning at the National Guard Armory from 8am - 2pm. Parents that qualified for free lunch at the end of last school year were mailed tickets for each eligible child in their household, but no family in need is turned away. I remember reading that an estimated 5k students are expected to participate in this important back to school program. I wouldn't be surprised if the final number of students in need is actually much higher. If you have information for the date and time of similar programs in other Central Wisconsin cities, please email me at tparks@centralnightout.com and I will post in my blog and on Facebook. If you are in need and do not have a ticket, please come anyhow! Thank you to area residents and businesses that make this event possible.
