Entering its ninth year, Four Peaks for Teachers is an annual classroom-supply fundraiser aiming to provide teachers with adequate school supplies and necessities. This year, Four Peaks Brewing Co. and local organizations like Treasures 4 Teachers — a donation-based supply store for instructors — plan to provide classroom supplies to thousands of teachers in, yes, Arizona, but also New Mexico and Nevada.
It started in 2011 with Four Peaks co-founder Jim Scussel. A teacher friend told the brewery owner she had to go out the next day and buy supplies.
