Style Saves Hosts Biggest-Ever ‘Back-To-School’ Event at Mana Wynwood Convention Center
The Miami-based nonprofit provided uniforms and school supplies to over 15,000 students across South Florida during the two-day event.
Aug 18, 2022 · 2 Minute Read Led by Rachael Russell Saiger and Isabela Rangel Grutman, Style Saves hosted their 12th annual Back-To-School event after a two-year contactless hiatus at our leading event venue in the Arts and Entertainment District.
Style Saves is a community of creatives in pursuit to provide youths and their families with essential goods – from school backpacks to nutritious meals – to increase academic achievement. Back-To-School is one of the many activations organized by Style Saves, intended to unite community members, support underprivileged students and their families, and provide a positive impact on the community in preparation for the upcoming school year.
The two-day event took place on August 13 and 14 at our Mana Wynwood property. Hundreds of volunteers and sponsors contributed to this year’s success, providing a joy filled space for students and their respective families to “buy” uniforms, sneakers, school supplies, and all other necessities in a department store-style format.

Students enjoyed complimentary snacks and drinks, a variety of playful entertainment and took home school-savvy accessories like fashionable lunch boxes and stationary items.
After over a decade of hosting our annual Back-To-School event and dealing with the difficulty of ensuring orders are correct and going out on time, we are so excited to finally launch our own private label of Style Saves-branded school supplies, backpacks, uniforms, and sneakers.
