Game Ball Recognition Program

Presented by Eckrich

GOING THE EXTRA YARD FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS

For three years, we have recognized over 1,000 PK-12 teachers across the country through the Extra Yard for Teachers Game Ball recognition program. Together with Eckrich and the help of groups such as the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), National Federation of High School Associations (NFHS) and Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) we honor teachers at High School football games and Middle School and Elementary school events during our annual Extra Yard for Teachers Week.

Join us by recognizing a teacher from your school with a our turn-key special game ball delivery program!

The College Football Playoff Foundation and Eckrich have made a limited quantity of special game ball delivery kits that include:

• Branded game ball

• Great Teacher t-shirt

• $50 DonorsChoose gift certificate

• Eckrich Lunchbox

  Don’t forget to share the special recognition on your social platforms by tagging #ExtraYardGameBall.

The Choose Kindness Project for Educators

HELP YOUR STUDENTS CHOOSE KINDNESS…

The College Football Playoff Foundation and The Choose Kindness Project teamed up to create a digital toolkit for educators and coaches to help students make the right call in the classroom by choosing kindness. The kit will include resources for educators to work with families and caregivers on topics including bullying, intentional inclusion, and youth mental wellness.

To celebrate the coming launch of this digital toolkit, the College Football Playoff Foundation is giving away 1,000 Choose Kindness Project Boxes to educators and coaches! The boxes are packed with posters, stickers, lanyards, information on how to access the digital toolkit and a $50 DonorsChoose gift card, while supplies last. We’d like to invite you and a select few other DonorsChoose teachers to sign up to receive a Choose Kindness Project Box!
