Thank a Teacher and support the U-46 Foundation

May 5 - 9 is Teacher Appreciation Week, and the U-46 Foundation gives you some fun options for thanking your favorite teacher and supporting the Foundation at the same time. For a donation, you can have a special message delivered to your teacher of choice, either in a colorful custom card - or in person by a U-46 VIP! We ask that you make your choice soon so we can get everything ready for delivery during Teacher Appreciation Week. Click here to get to the sign-up form.

Who we are?
