TCC Donates Supply Packs to Nearly 6,000 Teachers Across the U.S.

Leading Verizon Authorized Wireless Retailer gave school supplies to teachers at more than 500 participating stores
CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – Round Room LLC, the nation’s largest Verizon Authorized Wireless Retailer, announced today that more than 500 of its TCC stores have donated school supply packs to 5,610 teachers across the U.S. The fourth annual Teachers Rock Supply Giveaway campaign, which took place during the week of Feb. 13, was a joint effort between the company and its customers. Since 2015, TCC has donated more than 8,000 supply packs to teachers across the country.
Each participating TCC store partnered with a local school to select 10 deserving teachers and provided them with supply packs—valued at $60 each—filled with glue, pencils, pens, markets, erasers, paper, tissue boxes and more. Each supply pack enables a teacher to impact an average of 30 students.
“We found that teachers spend an average of $500 a year, out-of-pocket, to make sure their classrooms are stocked with necessary supplies,” said Scott Moorehead, CEO of Round Room, parent company of TCC. “At TCC, we believe teachers deserve so much more for all the work they do year-round. Replenishing their supplies is just one more way we are ‘Making Communities Better’ and we’re proud to be able to do it.”
TCC continues to make ongoing investments through its “Making Communities Better” cultural movement. In 2016, those efforts included donating 135,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children, contributing $100,000 for materials used to improve the environment, and pledging $250,000 to Make-A-Wish, enabling the organization to grant 25 wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions across the country.
