October 29 from 9 to 2 pm at Bowie High School.

In its first year, the United as One! Festival is a school and community-sponsored celebration and family resource fair held at Bowie High School. Targeted at the Chamizal and Segundo Barrio communities, the United as One! Festival will bring health, dental, employment, youth and adult education, housing, insurance, safety, and immigration/legal resources to local families. The United as One! Festival also features free food, children’s books, all-day live music and a large children’s fun area. Four EPISD schools (Bowie HS, Guillen MS, Hart ES and Zavala ES) are the key sponsors.

The United as One! Festival is free to all nonprofit, city/county, faith-based and education exhibitors. For-profit exhibitors are asked to make a $25 donation. Tables and chairs are provided, as well as lunch and refreshments.

We do ask all exhibitors to be “results-oriented” and to have a service or activity to provide for attendees, in addition to information. This can include sign-up for a class, children’s activity, health exam, resource giveaway, simple quiz or contest, demonstration or some sort of follow-up.

If you would like to sign up to be a United as One! Festival sponsor, please contact us at aweeks@austinvoices.org. Support levels are available. Sponsors will be featured on posters, flyers distributed at local schools, signs at the event and in live announcements from the stage.

Note: Our policy on educational exhibitors-This event is only open to EPISD exhibitors, higher education institutions, adult education providers, exhibitors focused on tutoring and mentoring services, and providers of after school and/or summer educational programs.
