Caterrion Thompson is coming off a pretty good season with the Women’s British Basketball League’s Oakland Wolves, where she was the leading scorer and helped lead her team to the championship game. Now she and Lima’s 2016 class want to help give back to the community by providing bookbags and school supplies for around 200 students. Besides the giveaway, there were vendors, a bounce house, face painting, and food. The goal of the event is to help with the educational and social needs in Lima.

“It makes me feel good just to come out here and give back, and the support of people coming out and helping and stuff like that. So, I am definitely blessed to have my team out here helping with me. I definitely wanted to give something that the kids looked forward to the school year. Being able to get some supplies, have a good time, listen to music, eat, and just enjoy themselves before they get ready for the next academic year,” says Caterrion Thompson, organizer of the school supply/book bag giveaway.
Thompson says they are already planning next year’s back-to-school event.
