Take a Teacher to Lunch TTL is an initiative we launched to turn teacher recognition into a year-round sustained effort. Teaching is a thankless job and there are thousands of teachers each year who go unappreciated and unrecognized. TTL is our way to fix that. Our goal is to bring this program to every school district in the state of Arizona in some capacity by the end of 2028.

Expenses: $64K
