In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week this year, Panowicz Jewelers has fulfilled two local teacher donation requests for classroom projects. In partnership with Frederique Constant, the Swiss watch manufacturer, Panowicz Jewelers seeks to support and recognize the efforts our local teachers do in educating the next generation.
“Youth and education are two areas Panowicz Jewelers will always support,” said Leslie Panowicz, general manager. “We are grateful to be selected by Frederique Constant to fully fund projects in our community.” Frederique Constant pledged $20,000 to support the local schools and communities where retail partners reside. And as one of 10 nationwide retailers selected, Panowicz Jewelers chose which classroom projects to fund in Thurston County.
These generous donations aren’t just for the schools– everyone in the community can benefit! With each Frederique Constant watch purchased at Panowicz Jewelers between now and May 31, a $50 gift card will be donated to a teacher’s request of your choice on DonorsChoose. DonorsChoose enables teachers to request donations for projects, programs or resources that are not included in their regular budget. “Our mission is to make it easy for anyone to help a teacher in need, moving us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education,” said Charles Best, CEO of DonorsChoose. “We are so grateful to have such a dedicated partner in Frederique Constant and to be able to rely on their continued support to reach classrooms on a national scale.”
Carla Wilke, chief marketing officer of Citizen Watch America, agrees. “As a brand founded on the principle of living your passion,” Wilke says, “We are very proud to help give back and show our appreciation to the hard-working teachers who are dedicated to educating their students remotely during this unprecedented time.”For more information about this exciting opportunity, visit DonorsChoice.org.
