Flau’jae Johnson returned to Savannah over the weekend for her second annual Back to School Giveback Festival. Embodying the spirit of community and encouragement, Johnson handed out a variety of school essentials including backpacks, clothes, shoes, and headphones to students hailing from the Coastal Empire at the Enmarket Arena.
Apart from the distribution of school supplies, the Giveback Festival was also a hub of entertainment and gastronomy. Attendees were treated to soulful music, scrumptious food, spirited games, bounce houses, and face paintings. Adding more to the excitement, the crowd also won a series of prizes.
An alumnus of the same city, Johnson is set to embark on her third season at LSU. She fondly remembers her growing years in Savannah and aims to make a significant positive impact on her community. Through the festival, she is consciously reminding the younger generation to take pride in being part of the Hostess City.
“I believe it’s crucial to give back to the kids,” expressed Johnson. “Presenting them with a positive reflection of the city as someone genuinely concerned about them carries immense importance. I always felt the need for it, and so, I decided that if I was ever bestowed with the opportunity of giving back to my city, I would want to make it count. Aiding as many people as I can is the aim. Observing the number of people we assisted today is heartwarming. An approximate of 1,000 kids walked away with backpacks loaded with school supplies, shoes, and uniforms. I feel fulfilled knowing I’ve done my job today. I’m so thankful.”
As a result, the festival attracted a large number of students and their families and was a significant success. The joy of giving was evident in the atmosphere, and the smiles on the faces of numerous children were testimony to Flau’jae Johnson’s incredible initiative and her resolve to provide much-needed resources to students. Additionally, the festival served as a platform that promoted unity, goodwill, and the spirit of giving back to the community, all under the banner of education and learning.
Johnson plans to continue this tradition in the subsequent years, further strengthening the values of support and community service. The Back to School Giveback Festival is anticipated to be an even larger event next year, aiming to reach more and more students, providing them with the necessary tools to succeed, and fostering a love for their city’s educational environment.
As the second Back to School Giveback Festival concludes successfully, the anticipation for the next annual event begins. This community event illustrates the power of a single individual’s determination to make a difference and the ripple effect it can create in their community. Clearly, Flau’jae Johnson is leading by example and inspiring her community to come together for the collective betterment of their city.
