Sunday, August 7th, Enigma Pro Wrestling and community partners produced their "4th Annual Back To School Supply Drive" to benefit Palm Beach County school aged kids. This monumental effort was a success by every level of measurement as there were ample supplies to serve those who attended.
Strategic partners included Blanca Lopez Mackrey of State Farm, Attorney Aaron Coven of Aaron R. Coven, LLC, Alan Menster of Racing To The Rescue, Jeff Nichols of Office Depot, Bri White and the ReMax Real Estate team of Boca Raton, Nick Angeloni of Little Caesars, Screen Depot, Allterra Engineering, State Farm agent Mary Brown of Boca Raton, Stephanie Buxton of All town Insurance, and a host of private citizens within the community.
Clear Fruit, kept the entire team of volunteers from Flanigan's Seafood and Grill, hydrated as they packed hundreds of bags with necessities to ensure that the kids had the basic essentials for their grade level as well as opening the doors on time.
Key media supporters included WMBX 102.3, 97.9 WRMF, 103.1 WIRK, SUNNY 107.9, BEATZ 96.3, 640 AM SPORTS and 850 WFTL.
"This event gets better and better every year," says Blanca Lopez Mackrey of State Farm. "I am always happy to jump on board and provide support for this incredible event."
Hundreds of kids received school supplies from the Pro Wrestlers during the two hour event and not only did they assist the kids with their selections, they also provided autographs and photo ops to cap off the over the top experience.
Parents started arriving at the venue at 11 am to get a good spot in line for a chance to receive much needed supplies for their children.
"We were very concerned about running out of supplies" says, Executive Producer, Darrian Dority. "But we managed to help every child in attendance and then donated the remaining items to the City of Lake Worth's upcoming school supply drive, Lake Worth Middle School, Greenacres Christian Academy and under served children in Loxahatchee."
