CARNIVAL BACK TO SCHOOL EVENT

In order to celebrate our 1 year anniversary we contacted Children’s Institute, Inc., a non-profit organization that “helps children in Los Angeles’s most challenged communities heal from the trauma of family and community violence, build the confidence and skills to break through the barriers of poverty, and grow up to lead healthy, productive lives.”  Inspired by the work of CII, BellaPort joined the effort and hosted a Carnival and Back 2 School Giveaway for the children of CII.

Through our collaborative efforts we were able to service 50 children and their families.

On Saturday, July 19th we held the carnival and Back 2 School Giveaway on CII grounds in Torrance. Our team led carnival games and interacted with each child. Our carnival games included bean bag toss game, 3 in a row, arts and crafts, bubbles, chalk, jumper, sack race, egg race, bucket toss, shaved ice cones, hot dogs, and a prize booth.

At the end of the event, each child went home with all their goodies as well as a backpack filled with school supplies.

We all had a great time interacting with the children and sharing a smile. We also had the opportunity to be inspired by the children’s resiliency and response to our presence. The children and their families were grateful for the event and excited to start the school year filled with school supplies.

A very special thank you to everyone that donated school supplies and helped make this event a huge success for these amazing children.  

Thank you all for your support and business and making our first year a success. We look forward to many more years servicing you with all of your harbor drayage needs and in return our communities.
