MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Box Tops for Education and EGOT-winning, multiplatinum musician and devoted father, John Legend are teaming up for their new Champion Legendary Teachers campaign, to show families that buying Box Tops products and using the Box Tops app is the easiest way to support educators and earn cash for schools this year.
While fundraisers can be a challenge for families and educators to facilitate each year, Box Tops is an easy way for communities to earn cash for schools and support teachers. Legend credits the teachers in his life for where he is today.
That’s why he’s encouraging families to earn for their schools via the Box Tops app to support the Legendary Teachers in their lives who they admire most. Simply download the app and buy your favorite Box Tops participating products like General Mills Big G Cereals, Fruit Roll-Ups, Betty Crocker and Annie’s Mac & Cheese, to earn cash for your schools!
“I recently had the heartwarming opportunity to meet inspiring educators from Westport Heights Elementary School, right in my backyard of Los Angeles. I was thrilled to help Box Tops award $30,000 to support their school’s new outdoor space, and I’ve seen it for myself — downloading the Box Tops app is one of the easiest ways for families to show support to educators who are making a difference in our communities,” said Legend. “As a father with a long-standing passion for education, I’m honored to be partnering with Box Tops for Education to Champion Legendary Teachers nationwide as students and teachers head back to the classroom.”
Westport Heights Elementary School in Los Angeles, where Legend lives with his family, is a Title 1 school that receives federal funding to support the academic achievement of low-income students. With the $30,000 from Box Tops and Legend, Westport Heights plans to develop an outdoor space for students to learn about environmental science. Box Tops for Education is also supporting nine additional schools in need across the country with $30,000 ($300K in total).
“Box Tops for Education understands how valuable community support is for teachers and administrators who are making a positive impact on their students. That’s why we’re thrilled to work with John Legend to Champion Legendary Teachers and make it as easy as possible for families to give back to the educators making a difference in their lives,” said Lilly Moeding, Box Tops for Education brand experience manager. “We look forward to seeing families utilize the Box Tops app to start the school year off strong for students and teachers nationwide.”
