Pac-12 and CFP Foundation celebrates Big Day and Extra Yard for Teachers Week
In partnership with the College Football Foundation's Extra Yard for Teachers, the Pac-12 Conference and several Pac-12 universities took part in #BigDayforTeachers on Monday, Sept. 14 and all week for Extra Yard for Teachers Week by recognizing local teachers within their communities in the largest single-day effort of community impact ever undertaken by the extended college football family.
In total across the efforts, more than $4 million in grants, direct aid and desperately needed resources are expected to be awarded to teachers and educators.
We're proud to take part in #BigDayforTeachers! To celebrate, we chose to recognize and honor a few teachers who have persevered through being displaced from their homes due to wildfires with @DonorsChoose certificates.
Thank you, teachers! #ExtraYardWeek | @CFPExtraYard pic.twitter.com/23wQlvbgaE
