As the summer sun begins to set and the excitement of a new academic year builds, Wayne Hardee Law remains committed to one of our most cherished traditions: investing in the future of our community.
We know that the back-to-school season brings a mix of emotions and excitement for new beginnings, but also the stress of preparation and costs for many families. That is why we were thrilled to step up once again to ensure local students have the tools they need to thrive.
A Day of Community and Giving
August 8 marked our second year collaborating with Beaufort County Community College (BCCC) for our annual Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway. The atmosphere was electric as families arrived to see the smiling faces of the Wayne Hardee team and the dedicated staff from BCCC.
It was truly a great day for the community. We were honored to have WNCT TV on hand to capture the spirit of the event. They helped us spread the word and celebrate the occasion. Together with representatives from the college, we successfully distributed over 600 fully stocked book bags to local students.
More Than Just Supplies
While the backpacks were filled with essentials like notebooks, pencils, and folders, our goal was to provide something even more valuable. We wanted to provide confidence.
We believe that every student deserves to walk into their classroom on the first day ready to learn without the worry of not having the right supplies. Seeing the smiles on the children’s faces as they picked out their bags was the highlight of our year. It is a reminder of why we do what we do. Serving Eastern North Carolina goes beyond the courtroom. It means showing up for our neighbors.
A Partnership That Works
We are incredibly grateful for our continued partnership with Beaufort County Community College. BCCC is a pillar of education in our region, and working alongside them has allowed us to maximize our impact. When local businesses and educational institutions join forces, the whole community wins.
We want to extend a heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who helped make August 8th a success. This includes the volunteers who packed the bags and the families who came out to see us.
Good Luck to the Class of 2026!
To all the students heading back to class this month, the team at Wayne Hardee Law is rooting for you. We hope these backpacks serve as a small stepping stone toward a year full of learning, growth, and achievement.
Here is to a safe, happy, and successful 2025-2026 school year!
