CAPE CORAL, Fla. (July 7, 2026) — Cape Christian will host its second annual Back-to-School Bash on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 8 a.m. to noon.

The event is made possible through the support of community sponsors, including title sponsor Sunlife Homes.
The Back-to-School Bash will offer a variety of free, family-friendly activities designed to equip students and celebrate the start of a new school year. Highlights include the giveaway of over 1,500 backpacks filled with school supplies, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament for high school students, free haircuts, water inflatables, train rides, a dunk tank, and a kids’ program featuring prize giveaways such as gift cards, and toys.

Pre-registration is required for both the backpack giveaway and the basketball tournament.
“We are grateful for the partnership of Sunlife Homes as the title sponsor of this event,” said Marco Villalobos, outreach pastor at Cape Christian. “One of our church codes is We Have Fun.
