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.

Saturday, August 2 | 3:30 PM – 7:30 PM
📍 Saddleback Rancho Capistrano Campus

A Moment That Matters

    Hope for Every Child

    This Back-to-School Bash brings joy, dignity, and practical support to children and teens in the foster care system—many of whom face school without the basics.

    Equipped to Thrive

    Hosted by The Wild and Whimsy Foundation, this event supplies kids with school gear, encouragement, and a sense of belonging as they enter the school year.

  • A sign with bold yellow and black striped caution tape background and the text "MANHOOD UNDER CONSTRUCTION" in yellow outlined font.

    Pillars in the Heart of It

    Pillars Counseling is leading a powerful booth called “Manhood Under Construction”—helping boys build something meaningful with tools, teamwork, and truth.

This isn’t just a booth. It’s a mission.

Together, we can remind boys in hard places that they are seen, valued, and capable of becoming men who build with purpose and lead with compassion.

Let’s show them what real manhood looks like.
