Hawaiian Falls offers pass for school supplies Aug. 8

Hawaiian Falls Mansfield is hosting a Back-to-School supply drive Aug. 8-12. Participants can purchase a $10 Day Pass (regular $35.99), good for one admission on any operating day in the 2022 season, in exchange for donating school supplies from the list below.

“As we prepare for a new school year, we want to help supply kids with the tools they need for success,” explained Ron McKenzie, Hawaiian Falls Marketing Director. “A new backpack or even a set of colored pencils could change a kid's life. As a community, we can partner together to support our local schools and have some fun doing it.”
