COSI is teaming up with NBC4 (WCMH-TV) for the second annual Stuff the Backpack campaign! It’s the largest backpack drive in the country and we need your help to make sure local students are ready to learn at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year. This year the backpack drive is expanding from helping one single district to 25 districts across Franklin and Licking Counties.

Starting June 1st through August 4th, COSI Members donating a NEW backpack (stuffed with school supplies) receive one free general admission voucher to use either on the day of donation or for a future visit (expires 12/30/2019).
