FOUR PEAKS FOR TEACHERS
A CHARITY FOUNDED IN 2011 THAT PROVIDES FREE SCHOOL SUPPLIES TO LOCAL TEACHERS
Did you know that 94% of teachers spend their own money on school supplies?
Four Peaks for teachers was created to help reduce the financial burden on teachers in the southwest-many of whom spend hundreds of dollars on school supplies each year. Using direct donations and funds raised through beer sales, we purchase the supplies teachers tell us they need, from scissors and staplers to pencils and paper, and build kits to hand out for free in multiple cities and states. This year, we’re proud to distribute 10,000 kits to teachers in Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada.
Trying to do your job without the supplies you need isn’t easy. Here’s what it looked like when our brewers gave it a shot.
A PERCENTAGE FROM EVERY CAN, BOTTLE, AND PINT OF FOUR PEAKS KILT LIFTER SOLD IS USED TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM AND PROVIDE SUPPLIES TO THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS IN NEED.
Are you a teacher?
Head to the “Teacher Kits” link at the top of the page and select the state in which you teach. You’ll be able to choose from several pickup locations and reserve your school supply kit.
I probably spend between $200 and $300 a year on classroom supplies and other things my students might need. Four Peaks for Teachers is a huge help in cutting down some of that cost. Plus the materials it provides, especially in the summertime, give us a head start for the school year.

We work more hours than an average person who works for a salary. We pay out of pocket for almost everything in our classrooms. We need more support overall.
