Del Monte: Teacher Monday - Cash For Classrooms


Thu. August 18th, 2011

<p>School&rsquo;s almost back in session and this major produce company has one sweet &ldquo;apple&rdquo; for the teacher - CASH! Del Monte Fresh Produce has announced its second annual &ldquo;Teacher Monday - Cash for Classrooms&rdquo; campaign to help promote classroom education about healthy living. Teachers register and submit short essays at www.fruits.com, and then their students vote for their favorites. The top ten vote winners every Monday receive $750 for school supplies and $250 worth of coupons for fresh fruit for their classrooms. Dennis Christou, VP of Marketing, stated: &ldquo;The [Teacher Monday] promotion was a tremendous success last year. Not only did it allow us to directly interact with our consumers, but also enabled us to introduce many students, some for the first time, to delicious fresh produce. This falls right in line with our mission to get consumers to eat and live healthier&rdquo;</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
