Channel 2's Fred Blankenship and Mark Arum are got "old school" and hit the road in a big yellow school bus on Friday to kick off the annual "Stuff the Bus" drive this weekend.
Blankenship, WSB-TV's charismatic morning anchor and Arum, a WSB-TV traffic reporter and Blankenship's hip-hop lyrics partner-in-crime traveled across the metro area collecting school supplies for children in need.
The duo's trip hit three metro Atlanta locations where Blankenship and Arum began to “stuff the bus” with donations from AJC International, Northside Hospital and Atlanta lawyer Ken Nugent.
'Stuff the Bus' is an annual drive to collect backpacks and school supplies for homeless children and children who live in group homes. The initiative, which is a partnership with the Children’s Restoration Network, helps kids in more than 20 metro Atlanta counties get school-ready each year.
