CHICAGO — MadeGood, an organic, allergy-friendly, better-for-you snack brand, has launched its Share Some Good Fund to support teachers.
The fund, which is dedicated to helping teachers purchase school supplies, will award $200,000 across 1,000 teachers in the US. Data from The Department of Education reports that 90% of teachers in the US spend their own money on school supplies.
“We all know how crucial education is for our children and the amount of effort our teachers put into ensuring students succeed,” said Nicole Bleiwas, VP of marketing at Riverside Natural Foods, the parent company of MadeGood. “MadeGood is proud to support educators and parents this back-to-school season with the Share Some Good Fund and hope we can help their school year get off to a good start!”
MadeGood is also partnering with Emmy Award-winning actress, Sheryl Lee Ralph, to encourage people to nominate teachers for the reward through Sept. 24.
“I am thrilled to join MadeGood in recognizing educators this back-to-school season. I personally have had several teachers who made a great impact on my formative years, and as a mother I have seen how educators have helped shape my own children,” Ralph said. “Teachers work tirelessly to support their students. The MadeGood Share Some Good Fund is a major step forward in aiding them ahead of the school year.”
