Stuff the Bus is an annual shoe, clothing, school supply and fund drive that was established in 2006 to raise awareness about the need for new shoes, clothing and school supplies for children in need going back to school. Stuff the Bus gives the community a way to donate these items to children in need through SC4K. For the past four years, Dominion has served as the event's title sponsor and several other community partners have helped make it successful each year. SC4K recruits local companies and organizations to host collection drives
The 4th Annual Stuff the Bus was held on September 9, 2009 on Gateway Plaza as part of SC4K Day at Progressive Field. Dominion once again was the $15,000 Title Sponsor and a team of Dominion employees were on hand to collect and sort the 5,000 items that were donated during the day.
The Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities once again provided the bus and driver for the event and new partners in 2009 included the Downtown Cleveland Alliance and Building Owners and Managers Association of Greater Cleveland (BOMA) who helped with the event logistics and marketing to downtown Cleveland business owners, workers and residents.
Special thanks to the following companies for hosting collection drives in their offices: CGB Tech, The Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities, Dominion, Fifth Third Bank, Huntington Bank, Key Bank, Melamed Riley Advertising and Shorebank.
