iHeartMedia Partners with DonorsChoose to Launch Thank A Teacher Campaign

iHeartMedia launches "Thank A Teacher" campaign in partnership with DonorsChoose to recognize US public school educators. Nominations are open until August 29, with five selected teachers receiving a $5,000 DonorsChoose gift card for classroom supplies. iHeartMedia will donate $500,000 in public service announcements to support DonorsChoose's mission.

In a move to recognize and support US public school educators, iHeartMedia has partnered with DonorsChoose to launch the "Thank a Teacher" campaign. This initiative, timed for the back-to-school season, aims to highlight the contributions of over 1,500 public school teachers on-air and award $25,000 in classroom supplies to five selected teachers [1].

The campaign, which runs from July 15 to August 29, invites the public to nominate outstanding teachers in their communities. Nominations can be submitted through DonorsChoose's website [1]. The selected teachers will be featured on local iHeartRadio stations throughout August, with five teachers randomly chosen in September to receive $5,000 DonorsChoose gift cards for classroom supplies [1].

In addition to the teacher recognition, iHeartMedia has pledged to donate $500,000 worth of public service announcements to support DonorsChoose's mission. These PSAs will run across all of iHeartMedia's radio stations, raising awareness about the critical needs in public school classrooms and encouraging listeners to contribute to the success of their local schools [1].
