Football sponsors help Atlanta teachers buy books, other tools
Two college football organizations will help Atlanta teachers buy books and other educational tools.
Peach Bowl, Inc. and the College Football Playoff Foundation announced on Tuesday that they plan to jointly donate $200,000 — enough to satisfy all requests made by at least 133 fifth through 12th grade teachers on the crowd-funding website DonorsChoose.org.
The announcement benefiting Atlanta Public Schools comes ahead of Thursday’s Peach Bowl playoff at the Georgia Dome.
