Deadline Looms for California Casualty's $2,500 Academic Award

 

San Mateo, CA, September 8, 2014 … School has just begun across America bringing excitement to the classroom, new projects and unfortunately, many educators with an empty wallet. California Casualty is ready to help with the $2,500 Academic Award; the deadline to enter is September 19.

The California Casualty Academic Award was created to help defray costs that educators pay for classroom and other instructional materials. A recent survey found 99 percent of teachers spend their own money on supplies and classroom projects, with each averaging $500.

"California Casualty has a 63 year relationship with educators and we understand the important task they do educating our children," said California Casualty Vice President Mike McCormick. "We want to say thank you and make their job a little easier."

Whether it's for a new Smart Board learning system, electronic tablets or traditional supplies of snacks, pencils and paper, let California Casualty pick up the tab. September 19 is the last day to enter for the next $2,500 California Casualty Academic Award at www.CalCasAcademicAward.com. The winner will be announced mid-September.
