Join us for this adult only, fun filled night to support United Way of Mower County's Backpack Program. This casual night out is a great way to connect with friends all while helping to feed hungry children in our community - 100% of the proceeds from the evening goes directly to food for students! Children enrolled in the program receive a bag filled with food to take home on weekends and holiday breaks. The food is designed to provide children who may rely on school for food with nutritious kid-friendly snacks. Backpacks are discreetly given to children at the end of the week to take home. During the 2025-2026 school year, this program served nearly 1,100 students every week, totaling over 32,000 bags of food provided to students in Mower County.
