Alliance for Catholic Education
Throughout most of October and November, the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation is partnering with the University of Notre Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) as part of the foundation's Extra Yard for Teachers initiative to help children around the country to reach their goals: college and heaven.
Starting today and running through November 29, the CFP Foundation will match donations made to ACE. The matching of gifts will enable ACE to have a greater impact on communities across the country by equipping ACE Teachers and Remick Leaders in the most under-resourced schools with the materials and tools they need to help their students thrive.
Gifts over $10 made will make contributors eligible for a lottery to win the opportunity to purchase two tickets for the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship.
Designed to honor, celebrate, inspire and empower great teachers, the Extra Yard for Teachers initiative is committed to making an impact through college football, which represents the most readily visible representation of students achieving their dreams of attending college. That road to higher education is often attributed to the support and commitment of gifted teachers.
The CFP Foundation has designated this week Extra Yard for Teachers Awareness Week, a promotion to increase exposure for this important initiative. While activities are taking place across the country, Notre Dame is one of several institutions playing host to a special activation during its football game this weekend.
For all those who have had the life-changing experience of having a great teacher or coach, the partnership between ACE and the CFP Foundation offers a chance to provide this same opportunity to thousands of children around the country, particularly those most in need of a high-quality Catholic education.
