Teachers regularly have to seek out grants and free resources to meet the educational needs of their classrooms.
We created this award to help teachers get the supplies they need to educate future generations.
Let California Casualty help you stop paying out-of-pocket for school supplies and instructional materials.
We know that you provide whatever your students need, let us help you by providing something you need.
