After 5 years of bringing churches, businesses, and nonprofit organizations together to serve over 55,000 students, COSILoveYou is releasing the Backpack Bash into the hands of neighborhood-level partnerships that are more accurately able to serve the ongoing needs of families in under-served neighborhoods across Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region. While functioning separately, these various back-to-school events still rely on partners working together to ensure families have the support they need year-round. 2025 event locations will still happen at Mitchell High School, Grand Mountain School, Sand Creek High School,Family Success Center, and the Hillside Community Center.
