2024 Back to School Rally

The 5th Annual Back to School Rally, hosted by Blacklining Foundation, is a vibrant community event dedicated to preparing students for academic success while celebrating the power of collective care. Held in the heart of East Harlem, this rally brings together families, educators, local leaders, and service providers to distribute free school supplies, offer valuable community resources, and uplift our youth before they return to the classroom.

This event is about more than backpacks and pencils, it is about building legacy. It reflects our ongoing commitment to educational equity and economic justice in historically underserved communities. Each year, hundreds of children leave our rally not only with the tools they need for school, but with the confidence of knowing their community stands behind them.
