WHY NOW

The need was bigger than we imagined. 

During 10 Teachers, 10 Days, our community told us about teachers across Oklahoma who go above and beyond, often paying for classroom supplies out of their own pockets. About 175 teachers were nominated, and we could only fund 20 of them.

This is our way of saying yes to more teacher and classroom support.
