City Gear Hosts Sixth Annual Cutz 4 Kids Back-to-School Celebration

City Gear, with over 200 stores in 17 states, is set to launch its sixth annual Cutz 4 Kids barbershop and Back-to-School campaign. The event series, designed to prepare children for the upcoming school year, will take place from July 27 through August 11 at select City Gear locations nationwide. The campaign includes a variety of activities and giveaways aimed at local families and students.

“We started Cutz 4 Kids back in 2018 to provide a meaningful way to give back to the communities and neighborhoods we serve,” said Derrick Hines, VP Store Operations at City Gear. “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 hosts multiple Cutz 4 Kids Back-to-School appreciation events at select stores across the country. These community celebrations feature giveaways, music, refreshments, free haircuts, school supplies, and fun activities for families. Professional barbers will be onsite at each participating location, offering complimentary haircuts for children. Supplies and services are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and no purchases are necessary to participate.

In addition to the free haircuts and school supplies, City Gear offers several back-to-school shopping tips to help families prepare for the new school year. They encourage families to stop by a local Cutz 4 Kids event and check out the sneaker launch calendar for the hottest new releases. Shoppers can also join City Gear Rewards to earn rewards while they shop and find the latest trends and curated looks in-store and online. City Gear suggests stocking up on essentials like backpacks, trending graphic tees, shorts, socks, headwear, and accessories. For those in a hurry, the retailer offers buy online, pick up in-store, and same-day and next-day delivery options. Furthermore, sneaker enthusiasts can learn about the origin of their favorite kicks on the blog.
