The What

Teachers Treasures will benefit from the chuck-a-chuck activation. Fans can purchase foam pucks emblazoned with the smiling face of WTHR-TV meteorologist Chuck Lofton. Then - during the first intermission - fans can toss their pucks onto the ice surface for a chance to win a variety of great prizes from the Fuel and participating sponsors!

Attendees can stop by the Teachers’ Treasures booth to sign up for the 2024 Circle City Donut Dash, a 5k supporting the organization. The race takes place on Saturday, March 16th, 2024. A discount code will be offered so attendees can save on their registration fees. Also, anyone who donates to Teachers’ Treasures that night will be entered to win a signed Indy Fuel memorabilia item. Any teacher who stops by and shows their school ID badge will receive a small gift. Any teacher that participates in the Donut Dash will receive a free shopping voucher along with an invitation to a summer shopping trip in the summer.

The Need

Every day at public, private, charter, and parochial schools located throughout Marion County, children of all ages attend class without the most basic supplies they need to get a good education. Dedicated teachers are often willing to pay for these much needed supplies out of their own pockets to make sure the kids in their classrooms have the necessary tools to learn. On average, teachers spend $800-$1200 a year on school supplies for their students.

Our Answer

Teachers’ Treasures, in partnership with local businesses, charitable foundations, neighborhood organizations and individual contributors, helps fill this need by operating a volunteer-based “Store for Teachers.” Donated educational supplies and other materials are distributed via this unique conduit to teachers for the benefit of their students. We serve teachers from any school (public, private, charter, or parochial) in Marion County and the immediately surrounding school districts with 60% of more of the student population on the free or reduced lunch programs are eligible.
