The Toronto Blue Jays will be hosting its annual community fundraising initiative on Sunday, August 30 at Rogers Centre in support of Jays Care Foundation. The club’s longest-running community initiative is encouraging Blue Jays Fans to help “Stuff the Bus” by donating new school supplies, purchasing mystery bags, or making a monetary donation to support Canadian students facing barriers that impact their ability to succeed in the classroom.

All proceeds from the Stuff the Bus Challenge will benefit Jays Care Foundation’s Affiliate School Program, a dynamic program supporting students across Canada through the power of baseball. School supplies donated will be provided to Affiliate Schools across the country, giving students the tools they need to succeed and thrive during the upcoming academic year.

Jays Care's Affiliate Schools program gives teachers the opportunity to run free baseball programming for students across the country. In 2026, there are more than 1,700 Jays Care Affiliate Schools across Canada.
