City Gear, a retail chain with over 200 stores across 17 states, has announced the return of its annual Cutz 4 Kids event. This year's edition, running from July 27 through August 11, aims to support school-aged children as they prepare for the upcoming academic year. The event will take place at select City Gear locations nationwide and will feature a variety of giveaways, free haircuts, and school supplies.
Derrick Hines, VP of Store Operations at City Gear, explained the initiative's origins: “We started Cutz 4 Kids back in 2018 to provide a meaningful way to give back to the communities and neighborhoods we serve. It’s always a popular event, and we are happy to help out local families shopping for the new school year and to get kids hyped about getting back to class.”
Each year, City Gear organizes multiple Cutz 4 Kids events across the country, turning them into community celebrations. These events include music, refreshments, and fun activities for families and friends. Professional barbers will be on-site at each participating location to provide complimentary haircuts for boys and girls. Additionally, children can receive free school supplies on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. The events are open to everyone, and no purchase is necessary.
City Gear offers several Back-to-School Shopping Tips to help parents and kids prepare for the new school year. These tips include stopping by a local Cutz 4 Kids event for a free haircut and school supplies, checking out the sneaker launch calendar for the latest releases, and joining City Gear Rewards to earn benefits while shopping. The store also highlights the importance of finding the latest trends and essential school items like backpacks, graphic tees, and accessories.
