Memorial City Mall back-to-school campaign with supply giveaway, tax-free weekend

Back to school means students are getting all their school supplies together and Memorial City Mall is hosting an all-month-long campaign,

Throughout August, MetroNational is raising awareness for students in need of backpacks and other school supplies and Memorial City Mall is joining the campaign by encouraging shoppers to make a donation to the Spring Branch Education Foundation’s (SBEF) Project School Supplies.

MetroNational will match every donation made by shoppers during the campaign, doubling the impact of every donation, up to $10,000.
