A Day of Giving

Last week, 44 lucky teachers, were selected to participate in a contest that can earn them up to $2,000 in additional funding for their students! During our #GivingTuesday contest last year, over $25,000 was raised in one day for classroom needs! Thanks to a very generous philanthropist, we are bringing a similar contest to 44 lucky teachers today.

How Does This Work? - There will be 3 contests that will happen during different time blocks throughout the day. The cause that raises the most funds during each contest will walk away with additional funds to their cause!

Contest #1 (8am - 1pm CST) - Prize $250

Contest #2 (1pm - 7pm CST) - Prize $1,000

Contest #3 (7pm - 12am CST) - Prize $750
