Pillars is Heading to KIDCHELLAAA 2025!
Back to School Bash
Join Us August 2nd - Saddleback Rancho Capistrano
We’re thrilled to announce that Pillars Counseling will be a featured part of the 4th Annual Back to School Bash—a high-energy, carnival-style event that blesses over 1,000 families in our community with free school supplies, fresh haircuts, fun games, food, and resources that bring real hope and healing.
Hosted at the beautiful Rancho Capistrano campus, this year’s theme is KIDCHELLAAA—and it’s going to be one unforgettable celebration!
Come Visit the Pillars
Manhood Under Construction Zone!
This year, we’re bringing something bold and meaningful to the Bash. Step into our Manhood Under Construction Zone, where young men can build something real—not just with wood and tools, but with character, purpose, and vision.
Hands-on building experience
Real talk about what it means to be a man
Meet mentors, counselors, and leaders who care
Construction jerseys, fun giveaways, and more!
At Pillars, we believe boys become strong men when they’re surrounded by truth, encouragement, and the opportunity to build something that lasts. That’s exactly what we’re offering on August 2nd—and we’d love for your family to be part of it.
💛 Come celebrate with us. Let your son step into something that matters.
