After the tremendous success of last year’s inaugural event, Grind Out Sports & Education, in partnership with the Jackson Teen Center, is proud to announce the return of Grind & Groom Day—a powerful and purposeful back-to-school celebration like no other. This year’s event will take place at Lugoff-Elgin High School July 31st from 11am-5pm. Offering a day filled with free grooming services, food, contests, music, and community resources for teens and youth from Kershaw County and beyond. The goal remains the same: to uplift and empower students by giving them the tools and confidence they need to walk into the new school year feeling seen, supported, and celebrated.
Attendees can look forward to: Free haircuts, nail services, and grooming, Basketball contests and live DJ music, free food and drinks, and resources tables from local organizations and companies.
