18th Annual Kutz For Edu Back-To-School Giveaway

A remarkable back-to-school event in Freeport, witnessed a large turnout as Legislator Kevan Abrahams, Mayor Robert Kennedy, Legislator Debra Mule, and other community leaders teamed up with TRIMZ Barbershop to host an expansive back-to-school giveaway.

“For many years, it has been my privilege to partner with TRIMZ Barbershop, Heeling Soles, and Glory House Recovery Inc. to ensure students are equipped with the essentials for a great start to the school year,” Abrahams stated. “I am tremendously grateful to all our community sponsors and volunteers for helping to make this event a success year after year, and I hope students all across Nassau have a great academic year.”

With more than 1,000 attendees, the event provided stuffed backpacks, grocery gift cards, bike and sneaker giveaways, and complimentary haircuts, courtesy of TRIMZ Barbershop, the driving force behind the event.

“I’ve heard a lot of concern and complaints about inflation and the cost to prepare for back to school,” Mayor Kennedy said, who was on-hand alongside co-sponsor Abrahams. “I was excited to participate with others to make this happen for our residents.”

Abrahams’ office reported that the overwhelming turnout prompted the assembly of additional backpacks to meet the demand.

“It was a pleasure to once again partner up with Minority Leader Abrahams and TRIMZ to host an extraordinary event that will empower students to thrive in so many ways during the 2023-24 school year,” Legislator Debra Mulè said. “Thank you to all our sponsors and volunteers who donated their time and resources to make this community tradition such a success.”
