It all started with the arrival of the Student Transportation of America bus that pulled into the Mesa Mall at Clock Court on July 1st. Since that day, Townsquare Media has been joined by so many great members of our community to help teachers and students in need of school supplies.

Grand Junction Supports District 51 Schools

Thanks to the outpouring of generosity this year, every single school in District 51 will receive boxes and boxes of supplies for the upcoming school year. 47 District 51 Schools are about to receive deliveries that will include everything from backpacks to notebooks and all the essentials needed for a successful school year. Mesa County schools with greater need will be receiving even more this year than last year.

Western Slope Generosity

We thank everyone who dropped off school supplies, and everyone who opened our station app to make a monetary donation to the D51 Foundation. We would also like to give a special thanks to the Bank of the San Juans. They made a huge cash and school supply donation to Mesa County Valley School District 51. Carville’s Automart donated 75 backpacks filled with school supplies. The team at Western Colorado Pediatrics team also made a substantial school supply donation.

Another Big Announcement

In the coming days, we are excited to be able to announce the total amount of cash donated to the 2024 'Stuff the Bus' campaign over the last 30 days, which will make this year's effort even more successful. We could not have done it without you.
