Another great Simon Youth Foundation Jeans for Teens fundraiser at the Simon Property Group headquarters in Indianapolis, Ind.? Check.
On Friday, Aug. 12, our great partners in education, the employees of SPG, raised an amazing $2,401 to benefit SYF programs, including our Simon Youth Academies, which are alternative schools that operate in partnership with public school districts to serve students who have dropped out or are at-risk of dropping out of their traditional high school due to homeless, parenthood, illness, or other personal circumstances that demand a unique learning environment.
For a five dollar donation to SYF, SPG employees were able to wear jeans into the office and received a peace, love, and SYF.org T-shirt as well as a sample slice from California Pizza Kitchen and a free Coca-Cola beverage of their choice.
The Jeans for Teens event included a Coke-bottle-cap toss, which teased ahead to our upcoming partnership with My Coke Rewards (much more on that right here on the blog in the coming weeks). Those who could put their cap through holes cut in gameboards were entered into a drawing for California Pizza Kitchen gift cards.
We were very proud to have some of our Simon Youth Academy students from the Indianapolis area in attendance to help serve pizza to their supporters as well as SYF Board of Directors member Bob Estes, who encouraged the players in the Coke-cap toss.
