Horace Mann Flash Funds More Than 50 DonorsChoose.org Projects in
Its 'Day of Donations' for National Teacher Day
SPRINGFIELD,
IL--(Marketwired - May 06, 2014) - Horace Mann
flash funded $25,000 in DonorsChoose.org projects today as part of
its "Day of Donations" celebrating National Teacher
Day. Fifty-one teachers either had their projects completed or
brought closer to completion thanks to the donations.
"Some teachers received $1,000 towards their project while
others received a smaller donation that fully funded their
project," says Vice President of Integrated Communications Dawn
Klintworth. "Projects included books for classroom libraries,
exercise balls, tablets, notebook computers and more."
Horace Mann partnered with DonorsChoose.org in 2011 and has
donated more than $2 million to the organization which helps
connect teachers with donors. Horace Mann agents have helped
fund projects and have also gone into classrooms to teach educators
how to post projects on DonorsChoose.org.
Horace Mann continues to celebrate the spirit of the movement
all week with these #TeachItForward activities:
- Horace Mann's Teach It Forward giveaway - Each day during
Teacher Appreciation Week, Horace Mann will randomly select an
educator who entered their Teach It Forward giveaway to
receive a gift valued at $500 -- and that educator will select
another educator to surprise with a gift valued at $500, as
well. Details of the contest are on their Facebook page,
reacheverychild.com and horacemann.com.
