First Responder Back to School Bash

Next date: Saturday, August 02, 2025 | 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM

Every parent's back-to-school list includes backpacks and a looong list of school supplies. But just like many items these days, these must-have learning tools can be pricey.

This is why first responders in Kansas City, Kansas, have set an ambitious goal to distribute 600 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to K-12 students during this year's Back to School Bash & Splash event on Saturday, August 2nd. We will kick off distribution promptly at 10 AM and continue until supplies last. This event isn't solely about preparing for school; it's also a chance to enjoy a bit more summer with a free lunch and some cool fun at the splash park.

Wanna help us meet our goal and make sure all KCK kiddos have the necessary tools for a successful academic year? Drop them off at one of our collection locations or Cram the Cruiser events listed to the right.
