BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
"When people hear Crocs and socks they come out the woodwork," said Curtis Taylor, president and CEO of the Tallahassee Urban League.
With the first day of school in Leon County just 3 days away, the Tallahassee Urban League and several other community partners gathered for a Back-to-School Bash.
The theme? Crocs, socks and a whole lot of resources.
"So it's not just about the crocs and socks, but it's about providing free health screening. It's about giving out crime prevention information and more importantly, it's about getting people to register to vote," said Taylor.
Friday's Back to School Bash was held at Griffin Middle School.
The Urban League says this event seems to grow with each passing year.
This year, the organization had a goal to give away 200 Crocs to local students.
