Adopt-A-Classroom is proud to announce an exciting partnership we have formed with OfficeMax. Classrooms nationwide have already benefited from our joint efforts this school year and we want to take this opportunity to share the success of these events with you. October: A Day Made Better Event On October 2, at 10:00 a.m., more than 4,000 OfficeMax associates, media and school administrators and children surprised 1,000 exemplary teachers across the United States with $1,200 worth of classroom supplies. "It's astounding that teachers have to reach into their own wallets to buy billions of dollars worth of basic school supplies - markers, posters and pencil sharpeners" says Bob Thacker, Senior Vice President of Marketing for OfficeMax. "A Day Made Better campaign has one message: it's time to act together so that our teachers can focus on educating our children, without worrying about where their basic classroom supplies will come from."

Her sold-out, 54 day "Best of Both Worlds" Tour is the hottest concert ticket around. A video about Adopt-A-Classroom's partnership with OfficeMax and our goal to help teachers was shown at all concerts starring and narrated by Miley Cyrus. December: OfficeMax Holiday Match Raises $135,000 As part of a holiday giving campaign, OfficeMax matched the first $40,000 in contributions donated to Adopt-A-Classroom between December 13 - 25. This campaign was extremely successful, raising over $135,000 for classroom teachers and children across the country. February: Peter Glen Award The Retail Advertising and Marketing Conference is widely regarded as the most prestigious conference in retail marketing and advertising today. The Peter Glen Award is awarded each year at the conference to companies who give back to the community or environment in a unique way. OfficeMax received this prestigious award for its A Day Made Better event with Adopt-A-Classroom. We look forward to sharing more success stories with you as a result of our partnership.
