The San Antonio Spurs’ annual “Back to School Bash” will take place Sunday at the Frost Bank Center, allowing kids heading back to school to stock up on necessary supplies and receive free health screenings.

The annual event will run noon-3 p.m. on Sunday, and registration is required by filling out this online form.

Parents, K-12 students, and teachers will be able to stock up on supplies such as backpacks, paper and pencils. Medical pros will be on hand to offer free vision checks and dental screenings. Information booths will provide info on school enrollment, extracurricular activities and mental health support.

Students can also sign up for free haircuts.

“San Antonio is a city rich with people and organizations who care deeply about our students, families and educators,” Spurs Sports & Entertainment Chief Impact Officer Patricia Mejia said in a statement. “Back to School Bash is a reflection of what’s possible when a community comes together to lift each other up. It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play in helping our young people thrive.”

The Back to School Bash has served 11,500 students since launching four years ago.

Parents or guardians must be present with their children, and all educators must have their teacher ID upon entering the event. All items and services will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
