The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is hosting our eighth annual Badges and Backpacks event presented by Banner|Aetna. We want to provide students in Pima County with an all-inclusive event focused on equipping youth with a safe and healthy school year. This back-to-school activity and health fair is one you will not want to miss. It will encompass all three exhibit halls (A-C) at the Tucson Convention Center!

FREE BACKPACKS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES- We will give backpacks filled with school supplies to the first 3,000 school-aged children (K-12) who attend the event, compliments of Banner|Aetna.
HEALTH FAIR- El Rio Health will provide dental, vision, and hearing screenings on-site. The Pima County Health Department will also be on-site providing vaccinations.

Here are some important things to note for the event:
