Horace Mann (NYSE:HMN) is proud to recognize and support educators nationwide through its annual Teacher Appreciation Month celebration, honoring the dedication and impact teachers make every day.
The company’s “Beyond Grateful” campaign will run from April 29 – May 22, expanding beyond the traditional Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4 – 8) to provide educators with meaningful recognition and tangible support as they begin to close out the school year.
“Our ‘Beyond Grateful’ campaign is about recognizing the incredible impact educators have on their students and communities,” said Katie Hamilton, Vice President of Marketing and Partnerships at Horace Mann. “Educators continue to go above and beyond for their students, often using their own time and resources, and this is one way we give back and show our appreciation.”
Throughout the month, all educators can participate in multiple offerings, including:
- Weekly Sweepstakes: Educators can enter to win daily and weekly gift cards, as well as grand prizes designed to support creativity, relaxation, and personal well-being. In total, more than $17,000 in prizes will be awarded.
- Above and Beyond Educator Award: Educators can nominate colleagues or mentors who are making a lasting difference in their schools and communities. Selected honorees will win gift cards and DonorsChoose funding to support classroom projects and student learning needs.
- Community Celebration Events: Local Horace Mann agents will be organizing community celebration events featuring activities ranging from free food trucks to additional giveaways.
“For more than 80 years, Horace Mann has been dedicated to helping educators succeed in and out of the classroom,” added Hamilton. “While Teacher Appreciation Month is an important moment to stand alongside educators, our commitment to supporting their financial well-being is year-round, and we’re excited to honor the important work they do every day.”
