Audio Excellence Oviedo plans backpack giveaway for Seminole County students
Audio Excellence Oviedo will hand out more than 500 backpacks, plus free haircuts and food, to help Seminole County families absorb back-to-school costs.
Back-to-school shopping can strain family budgets fast, and Audio Excellence Oviedo is trying to ease that pressure with a giveaway planned for July 25. The Oviedo business will distribute more than 500 backpacks filled with school supplies from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its West Mitchell Hammock Road location, and registration will be required to receive one.
The annual event is aimed at students across Seminole County, where the cost of getting ready for a new school year can stack up quickly for parents already balancing household expenses. Organizers said the giveaway will go beyond school supplies, with free haircuts, free food, local vendors, giveaways, music, raffles and family-friendly activities planned throughout the morning.
Audio Excellence CEO Nasar Baker said the effort is meant to meet a real need in the community. He said it is "humbling to be able to give back to families in need," and emphasized that even a small act can make a big difference in someone’s life. The structure of the event, including required registration, shows it is being organized as a targeted distribution rather than a casual open house.
A wide mix of community partners is helping make the giveaway possible, including Staples, GoINKit, Handel’s, Christian Tech Center, Outback, Golden Gator, L A C Events, Orlando Party DJs and the City of Oviedo Fire Department. Businesses and individuals also can contribute by donating backpacks or school supplies, sponsoring parts of the event or volunteering.
For Seminole County families, the giveaway lands at a moment when school readiness carries a real price tag. More than 500 backpacks may not solve every back-to-school expense, but the scale of the event, and the demand behind it, points to the kind of financial pressure many households face as summer ends and classes approach.
