Dear Editor,
Project Reach G.A.N.G. Inc. and its executive director Lavonia LeCounte give all credit to God for inspiring them to host this outstanding event. A special thanks to all the program participants, sponsors, vendor participants, youth, and parents. There would not have been a rally without you.
Rally 2023 was indeed a blessing to our county and a tremendous success: five teachers received $100 gift cards to stock their classrooms, 20 graduating seniors attending college or tech school received laptops and Chromebooks along with air pods, and 10 other students receive air pods. Lunch incentives will be given to selected elementary schools.
Plans have begun for the 26th annual Back to School Rally. The rally will be held on July 13, 2024.

Project Reach G.A.N.G. Inc. would like to thank each of you from the bottom of their hearts, the 25th annual Back to School Rally sponsors and supporters. If you contributed and your name is not listed, it is because your information was received after the printing of this letter to the editor. Thank you!
We could not have done this without God and your support.
We hope to see you for our 26th Annual Back to School Rally on Saturday, July 13, 2024, 10 a.m., with a tentative location of Liberty County High School. Plans are in the making to ensure a faster flow and that no family will leave without.
