Finally, Advance Financial Foundation was the Title Sponsor for La Ranchera 880 and Activa 105.1FM radio stations’ back to school event on Sunday, July 29th at Plaza Mariachi on Nolensville Pike. Attendees were also given school supplies for the upcoming school year. “School supplies can be very expensive, so we wanted to take the financial pressure off parents and children before they start the new school year,” said Shantrelle Johnson, executive director of the Foundation and VP of community outreach at Advance Financial. “We hope that by giving them the supplies they need and showing them that going back to school can be exciting, we can empower kids to work hard and reach for higher goals.”
