PHOTOS FROM THE AUGUST 14 BACKPACK CHALLENGE STOP

FOX19 Meteorologist Frank Marzullo along with Q102's Fritsch (from the "Jeff and Jenn Morning Show") set a goal to stuff a school bus with supplies that will fill more than 1,000 backpacks for inner city students.  We are pleased to announce that they have easily met this goal.

100% of the school supplies collected will be donated to worthy families assisted by ACT and the Brighton Center.

Thanks to all of the organizations who have helped out over the past few weeks....
