Eight matches and one High School Big joined us for our Back-to-School Board Game Bash at The Hop in Asheville. 🍦

We all enjoyed everything from classic board games to exciting new ones, all while digging into delicious ice cream scoops and Pop Bubble tea. The Hop’s Merrimon Avenue shop was buzzing with laughter, friendly competition, and lots of sprinkles.

One of the biggest hits of the night was our backpack giveaway, each packed with school supplies and a gift card to help Littles start the year feeling prepared and supported. We were thrilled to see every backpack go to an eager new owner.

A heartfelt thank you to Greg Garrison, one of The Hop’s co-owners, and their incredible staff for warmly welcoming us, keeping the ice cream and bubble tea flowing, and helping make the event such a treat. 🍨🧋

And of course, thank you to everyone who came out to make the evening so fun and memorable. We’re so grateful for our amazing BBBSWNC community of Bigs and Littles who show up, play together, and support one another.

Here’s to a great school year ahead! 🎒✨
