Sam’s Club kicks off Classroom Champions contest
In recognition of the invaluable role teachers play in their communities, Sam’s Club announces its Classroom Champions contest, a unique initiative dedicated to supporting educators across the country. This summer, nine exceptional teachers will each receive $5,000 in Sam’s Cash, allowing them to shop for all their back-to-school needs at Sam’s Club.
From July 24, 2024, at 12:00 AM ET to Aug. 6, 2024, at 11:59 PM ET, teachers can enter the contest by visiting samsclubclassroomchampions.com and answer questions explaining why they should be recognized as a Classroom Champion.
“We all have known a teacher who has left an indelible mark on our life, shoutout to Mrs. Spencer from 12th-grade Anatomy and Physiology,” said Megan Crozier, chief merchant of Sam’s Club. “This is our way of saying thank you for making a difference in the communities we serve.”
