49ers EDU and CFP Foundation Come Together to Celebrate Bay Area Teachers for 'The Big Day'

Last week, 49ers EDU teamed up with long-time partner the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation to honor three incredible Bay Area teachers who are making an impact in the lives of their students, fellow teachers and community. On Monday, September 14th teachers across the country were surprised with $1,000 Donor Choose grants as a part of The Big Day, the largest single-day effort of community impact ever undertaken by the extended college football family.


49ers EDU director Jesse Lovejoy was joined by members of the CFP Foundation via Zoom to surprise the teachers. They had no idea what to expect and hearing they would be receiving $1,000 grants left them speechless. Each teacher was nominated by a fellow educator who saw them go above and beyond this past year for their students and community. As schools across the Bay Area closed for in-person learning, these three teachers have gone above and beyond in finding ways to keep their students engaged and learning throughout COVID-19.
