Avery Dennison Office Products Company is launching a national sweepstakes to reward deserving teachers throughout the USA. The sweepstakes, which runs through September 15, 2010, was created to celebrate teachers and all they do for the nation's children on a daily basis.
Due to budget cuts and the current economic climate, many teachers and students across the country go without even the most basic school supplies. Studies by the non-profit organization, World Vision, show that teachers spend on average at least $500 of their own money each school year on supplies for their students. This sweepstakes aims to alleviate some of this financial burden, as well as pamper a few lucky teachers.
Avery Dennison will be giving away a grand prize package valued at $1,000 to one teacher through the sweepstakes.
"Avery Dennison wants to show our appreciation for all the hard work that teachers do every single day, and what better way to say thank you than awarding prizes that can help organize, pamper and yes, even caffeinate them," said Jeff Deleon, director of marketing, Education, for Avery Dennison Office Products. "One of our core beliefs is that education is the cornerstone of a strong community, so we support the teachers who nurture students and enable their success."
