As teachers have returned to classrooms for the start of the new school year, Dunkin’ is brewing up the perfect way to say thank you to those who go above and beyond for our students.

In celebration of all local educators, according to a press release, Dunkin’ is having “Raise A Cup to Teachers” sweepstakes in which guests in Arizona can nominate a deserving Arizona teacher for their chance to win free coffee for a year and a coffee break for their school.

Beginning Thursday, Sept. 1 through Monday, Oct. 5, guests can submit nominations by visiting www.dunkinraiseacup.com and follow the instructions to complete the registration form.

The coffee break will be a delivery of $300 worth of Dunkin’ products to keep their school runnin’ on Dunkin’. As an extra thank you to teachers, Dunkin’ will also provide 200 $1 medium hot or iced coffee VIP cards to each of the first 50 teachers nominated to share with their school’s staff.

“Teachers play an invaluable role in our communities and help provide their students with the means for a better future,” Jamie Struwe, Dunkin’ field marketing manager, said in the release. “We’re excited to offer our deserving educators a coffee break and recognize them for their passion and dedication to our youth.”
