Support Local Students with Tools 4 Schools at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre!

The St. Augustine Amphitheatre is proud to announce our partnership with the St. Johns County Education Foundation Inc., operating as Investing in Kids (INK!), to serve as an official drop-off site for the annual Tools 4 Schools countywide school supply drive this August. We invite concertgoers attending August shows to join us in supporting local students by bringing essential school supplies to the Amphitheatre’s designated Tools 4 Schools bin, located conveniently outside the Box Office on show days.

In addition to collecting supplies during concerts, The St. Augustine Amphitheatre will host a special Stuff the Bus collection drive at the Amphitheatre Farmers Market on Saturday, August 17, 2024, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. The community is invited to “stuff” a school bus with new school supply donations. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with collecting and unloading supplies. Your donations will benefit over 52,000 public school students and teachers across St. Johns County.

Every summer, INK! and its community partners organize the annual school supply drive to help teachers and students prepare for the school year. Tools 4 Schools is a community-based initiative that provides essential classroom supplies to teachers and students, reducing out-of-pocket expenses for educators and ensuring that students have the tools they need for success.

Your contributions will directly benefit students in need throughout St. Johns County, ensuring they have the necessary tools to succeed in the upcoming school year. Whether you bring notebooks, pencils, crayons, or any other school essentials, your generosity will make a significant impact on our community’s young learners.
