Jim Click, President of Jim Click Automotives, is a founding sponsor of Tucson Values Teachers. He was among the first to recognize the potential of Tucson Values Teachers and provided the seed money necessary to launch the initiative. Mr. Click has a long history of generosity to our community, and our educational environment owes much to his years of philanthropy. Mr. Click has also pledged to provide significant automotive discounts for teachers as part of the incentive strand of TVT. His belief in the program has inspired many others to step up and help guarantee the long-term success of Tucson Values Teachers. Director's MessageArea businesses continue to step up to offer great incentives for K-12 teachers in our region. The response has been overwhelming. From cars and car maintenance, to anything you might need at Walgreens, to your choice of delectable restaurants or hotel rooms, significant discounts are available for K-12 teachers. -Jacquelyn Jackson |
