BOWL SEASON OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2021
CELEBRATING TEACHERS Bowl Season’s Commitment to Educators Remains a Priority
B
owl Season has come together with the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation to celebrate and support local teachers. Through the partnership, each bowl game has the opportunity to participate in an Extra Yard for Teachers recognition and grantmatching program during Bowl Season. This new Bowl Season Extra Yard for Teachers program is being made available to all bowl games and is in addition to the funding provided through existing bowl partnerships with the CFP Foundation. This Bowl Season partnership has the potential to bring upwards of $400,000 in additional support to teachers and students. Elements of the partnership include matching grant funds to support the funding of teacher resources.
Entering this college football season, the established relationships with bowl games through teacher programs and grant activations has resulted in more than $10 million already invested to support teachers since the CFP Foundation’s inception.
A BIG DAY This September, every bowl game participated in the CFP Foundation’s second annual Big Day for Teachers. Part of Extra Yard for Teachers Week, The Big Day is a designated day that mobilizes college football to celebrate educators. The largest singleday effort of community impact ever undertaken by the extended college football family, millions in grants, direct aid and desperately needed resources were awarded to teachers and educators nationwide on The Big Day.
