Richmond Hill, GA – The Bryan County Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce its inaugural Back to School Expo, a new community event designed to connect families with local businesses, healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, and educational resources while preparing students for a successful school year.

Scheduled for Tuesday, July 21, at the Richmond Hill City Center, the Expo is expected to bring together hundreds of families from across Bryan County for an afternoon of school readiness, community engagement, and business networking.

"This event is about bringing our community together," said Erin Fountain, Interim CEO of the Bryan County Chamber of Commerce. "Families will have the opportunity to discover valuable local resources while our businesses can showcase the products, services, and programs they provide every day. It's a win for everyone involved."

The Chamber has already received an outstanding response from the local business community, with strong support from sponsors and vendors representing healthcare, financial services, education, youth development, nonprofits, and professional services.

The Chamber proudly recognizes the following sponsors for helping make this event possible:
