Del Monte Fresh Produce, North America, Inc. recently announced that it is launching a program to help support kindergarten through 12th grade public school teachers across North and Central America with cash to purchase school supplies and fresh fruit in the "Teacher Monday: Cash for Classrooms" campaign. One hundred prizes totaling $1,000 each will be awarded to teachers who get the most votes in the "Teacher Monday: Cash for Classrooms" online contest.
To be eligible to win, teachers must register for the "Teacher Monday: Cash for Classrooms" online contest. After teachers register their name and school, they can get all their fans--from parents to students, to friends and family--to vote for them. Ten winners will be selected each Monday for five consecutive weeks in October/November, 2010, for a total of 50 winning North American teachers. Winners are based solely on the number of votes they receive. Winning teachers will receive $750 in cash to purchase school supplies and $250 in Del Monte fresh fruit coupons for classroom snacks and to use in fruit educational activities.
In an effort to support schools in less developed countries where many Del Monte products are grown, and where classrooms are also experiencing economic disadvantages, the "Teacher Monday: Cash for Classrooms" program will link winning U.S. classrooms with a school in Guatemala or Costa Rica. The 50 selected Central American schools will also receive $1,000 each for school supplies.
