Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno who was in attendance at the event said “Having been at prior Vox Church events, their efforts and the efforts from our Springfield Boys and Girls Club are so heartfelt. It was truly a wonderful event.”
“For over 132 years the Springfield Boys & Girls Club has filled the needs of the North End Community. We are pleased to partner with Vox Church as they provided over 1200 youth with a new pair of sneakers to start the new school year.” said Vincent F. Borello, Springfield Boys & Girls Club Executive Director. “Together, Vox Church & the Springfield Boys & Girls Club are helping the community, supporting families, and investing in Springfield’s greatest asset…..it’s youth.”
The event also featured carnival-style activities such as bounce houses, cotton candy, and popcorn. Additionally, several local non-profit partners were in attendance including The Springfield Police Department, Springfield Public School System, The Q99.7, and Restoration City Church.
“We’re so grateful to have been able to host our third-annual Back-to-School Sneaker Event,” said Vox Church Springfield Campus Pastor Matt Deciccio. “We are thankful to be able to love and serve the Springfield community through this event.”
