Businesses Step up in support of k-12 teachers with total benefit package of more than $10,000
Welcome to our special $10,000 for 10,000 discount program that features more than thirty businesses that have stepped up to support more than 10,000 K-12 teachers in Southern Arizona. As you will see by the list below, benefits are offered in a wide range of areas. The long-term goal of Tucson Values Teachers is to raise teacher salaries. Until we can make that happen, we are doing all we can to stretch existing salaries as much as possible.
If you were to take advantage of every single discount listed below, you would save much more than $10,000 this year. The card remains effective throughout 2010. Read each description carefully as some restrictions do apply. And, remember to always present the card with a valid teacher ID or a recent pay stub.
But most of all - we hope you enjoy the benefits we are offering. Please know how deeply appreciated and respected are the many ways in which every teacher brings benefit to our children, our region, our future.
