Touchdowns for Teachers
The program awards $500 grants to two teachers every time the Cardinals score a touchdown during the regular season.
Special to Independent Newsmedia
Football season is here, and Deer Valley Unified School District teachers can score big for their classrooms.
SRP and Cardinals Charities are partnering for a sixth year on the Touchdowns for Teachers program. The program awards $500 grants to two teachers every time the Cardinals score a touchdown during the regular season.
Teachers can use the grants to purchase school supplies, books, equipment, or anything they need to support their classroom.
The Cardinals open the 2024 season Sept. 8 at Buffalo. The team’s first home game in Glendale is Sunday, Sept. 15, when the Rams visit State Farm Stadium.
To date, the Touchdowns for Teachers program has provided more than $269,000 in grants to more than 538 teachers.
“Initiatives like Touchdowns for Teachers are a fun and engaging way to support the work educators do for our students,” SRP Community Engagement Manager Anita Tarango shared in a press release.
SRP invested more than $2 million in education in 2023.

Teachers can apply for grants between now and the day of the Cardinals’ last regular season game on Jan. 5.
The grants are available for teachers employed at public, charter, or nonprofit private schools in SRP service territory. Grants can be used for any classroom need.
