We were excited to host our 4th Annual Teacher Appreciation Event this year at Eddy's Toyota! On Sunday, June 26th, we helped hundreds of teachers stock up on supplies for the upcoming school year. The event started at 12 PM in our service drive, but we had teachers showing up at 9 AM to be first in line. We did things differently this year by conducting an online survey beforehand to see what teachers were in most need of. We learned that snacks, expo markers, art supplies, and hand sanitizers were on the top of most teachers' wish lists. As we have done in the past, we filled trunks of cars and trucks full of school supplies ($20,000 worth). From there, teachers were given a tote bag to fill up. So, what did teachers do while they waited in line?

We hosted a raffle on the showroom floor, another new edition to this year's event, and it was a hit! It was exciting to see teachers being called up to spin our wheel to win a prize. Our giveaways included gift cards to local restaurants, Botanica tickets, free gas cards, special school supply items, and a whole lot more. We had over 50 teachers win a prize during our 4th Annual Teacher Appreciation Event.
