About us.

The Annual Back to School Drive, Health Fair & Business Expo, held each summer at PlazAmericas; is a community-based, all volunteer led event founded 19 years ago in partnership with many individuals and organizations like you.

We have helped over 100,000 students prepare for their school year and hundreds of thousands more family members gain access to health care and other community resources provided by our business, nonprofit, community-based, faith-based, and government partners.

Each year a 501(c)(3) nonprofit fiscal agent is designated to process your donations and expenses approved by the annual Community Leadership Steering Committee, who coordinates fundraising, partnerships, recruiting and managing volunteers, media relations, and the many elected officials who join us every year.
