Clarksville Branch Hosts Back to School Bash!

Giving Back in a Big Way

On Saturday, August 2nd, Gershman Mortgage’s Clarksville, TN branch held it’s annual Back to School Bash, and it was a tremendous success! This meaningful event provided hundreds of local students with free, fresh school supplies and brand-new backpacks to help them start the school year strong. Attendees enjoyed bounce houses, tasty treats, and lots of fun giveaways – all made possible by generous Clarksville-based sponsors.

In Their Own Words: The Clarksville Team Shares

“This event was everything! It was such a blessing to be able to show up for our community in a real way. I loved seeing all the joy on the kids’ faces and the relief on the faces of parents. Moments like this matter, and remind us why we do what we do.”
– Kristal Reese, Office Manager

“The event was amazing, our best yet! We helped fill backpacks for so many kids – big and little! It’s always nice to see hundreds of smiling faces running from the shaved ice truck to the inflatables and back for a hot dog! This year, all of our own children came out to help pack bags and pass out food. They spent countless hours sorting supplies in the weeks leading up to the event. Showing our babies how to give back is the best part.”
– Shannon Stewart, Senior Loan Officer

“This is my favorite annual event and is such a special reminder of the power of community! To be able to support over 400 families as they prepare for a new school year is a blessing I’ll never take for granted! We couldn’t have done it without the incredible businesses, sponsors, and vendors who stepped up and gave so generously. Their support paired with the hard work of our team helped make this day not only possible, but unforgettable. So grateful we were able to pour into our community in such a meaningful way.”
– Mia Lindsey, Branch Manager, Loan Officer
