\n OAKLAND, Calif.<\/span>, Sept. 8, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — This past school year created unprecedented challenges where teachers stretched their expertise in creative, imaginative ways to support their students. New research from the Clorox\u00ae brand found that 70% of them had to teach without the supplies they needed, and 82% expect personal spending on school supplies to increase this year compared to last.\u00a0As schools return to in-person learning this fall, Clorox will continue its mission in supporting teachers through a $1,000,000<\/span> donation to DonorsChoose that will help provide classroom basics educators need most to create enriching, safe spaces for their students \u2013 from notebooks to disinfecting wipes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Knowing how influential teachers have been for so many professional athletes in their formative years, and as the Official Cleaning Partner of the NBA and WNBA, Clorox is teaming up with players past and present, including\u00a0Donovan Mitchell,\u00a0one of the game’s MVPs with a strong personal tie to education, to raise awareness for the important role these superhero teachers play in creating a winning back-to-school season. <\/p>\n

“Growing up, I always admired my mother’s ability to change kids’ lives as a teacher, which is why I’m dedicated to supporting schools and students when I’m off the court,” said Donovan Mitchell<\/span>, NBA all-star of the Utah Jazz and Clorox spokesperson. “At the start of every school year, teachers become superheroes, going above and beyond for their students and I’m thrilled to team up with Clorox to bring awareness to teachers and much needed supplies at a time when they’re needed most.”<\/p>\n

Clorox is also celebrating teachers in the backyard of its largest production plant, Atlanta<\/span>. Today, in partnership with the Atlanta Hawks, Clorox announced a donation of $100,000<\/span> along with $10,000<\/span> worth of Clorox\u00ae Disinfecting Wipes to Atlanta<\/span> Public Schools, which was presented to a group of teachers, students and staff at Emma Hutchinson Elementary School through a surprise appearance by Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer and Atlanta Hawks legend Dominique Wilkins<\/span>. <\/p>\n

“I owe a lot of the success I have experienced on and off the court to the amazing teachers, coaches and role models in my life who helped me stay the course,” said Wilkins. “At a time when teachers need our support more than ever, the entire Atlanta Hawks organization is thrilled to be a part of this Clorox program to give back to our community and help Atlanta<\/span> Public Schools get the supplies they need.”<\/p>\n

“At Clorox, we value the extraordinary effort and sacrifices teachers nationwide have made to navigate this challenging past school year which is why we look to celebrate and giveback to superhero teachers again this year,” said Tad Kittredge<\/span>, Vice President of Cleaning at The Clorox Company. “Through our $1,000,000<\/span> donation to DonorsChoose, we are committed to supporting teachers so they can return to the classroom equipped with necessary supplies for a successful and safe year ahead.”<\/p>\n
