Nearly 90,000 local, school-aged children will start school in just a few short weeks without many of the most basic school supplies they need to learn and succeed. To empower these children in need to succeed in school, Disney On Ice is partnering with St. Louis-based KidSmart to "Bag the Basics" for school during the charity's community driven, back-to-school supply drive, and "Push for Pencils".

On Thursday, August 12, from 10 a.m. -1 p.m. at the Chaifetz Arena Box Office, families donating a bag of new, basic school supplies will receive a free ticket to see an evening performance of Disney On Ice presents Princess Classics for either Thursday, Sept. 16 or Saturday, Sept, 18. Disney On Ice presents Princess Classics has six performances from September 16-19 at the arena. There is a limit two free tickets per family.

In addition to the ticket giveaway, children attending are encouraged to dress as their favorite Disney character and enjoy various Disney-themed crafts with assistance from members of Metro Edge Figure Skating Club of Missouri and St. Louis Synergy Synchronized Skating Teams. Activities will take place in the air-conditioned comfort of Chaifetz Arena.

The donations will go directly to children in need in the St. Louis area.  To qualify for the free voucher to a Disney On Ice performance, the donation must include at least five new packages of the following most-needed items: crayons, scissors, pencils, glue (stick or liquid), pens, folders, markers, colored pencils or spiral notebooks.
