You scored a touchdown for teachers!

From January 3rd through February 3rd, generous donors across the country supported teachers in their team's hometown in the Teacher Champion Challenge. We tallied up every donation to classrooms in the cities competing in the pro football playoffs. After the big game, the city with the most donations per student received $100,000 to support team sports projects from our partner, The DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation. Visit our help center for the full details.
