AFCA Partners With CFP Foundation To Support Extra Yard for Teachers
September 11, 2020
The American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) has partnered with the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation to recognize teachers on The BIG DAY – a national day of supporting and celebrating teachers on Monday, September 14, as part of Extra Yard for Teachers Week.
The AFCA will make a special effort to recognize teachers who are leading the way and working hard to keep kids learning during the unprecedented pandemic. Their national membership is encouraging all of its high school head coaches to select a teacher from their school to be recognized with a special Extra Yard for Teachers and AFCA Game Ball and gift card for classroom resources.
“We are thrilled to partner with the AFCA to celebrate teachers,” said CFP Foundation Executive Director Britton Banowsky. “The support we’ve received from coaches throughout the years has been tremendous and we are excited now to collaborate with the entire membership of the AFCA, to recognize the important role teachers have in helping to mold the future of our country.”

The AFCA has more than 11,000 members, including thousands of high school coaches. It is the only national organization solely dedicated to improving football coaches through ongoing education, interaction and networking. Its primary goal is to provide resources for personal and professional development amongst the football coaching profession.
“This year, more than ever, educators deserve to be recognized for their extraordinary efforts,” said AFCA Executive Director, Todd Berry. “In addition to the support our college coaches have always showcased for education, we are encouraged by the over 100 high schools that will be participating in recognizing teachers during Extra Yard for Teachers Week.”
The CFP Foundation is the largest sports entity supporting education in America. The BIG DAY is a national effort among all of CFP Foundation’s partners to say “thank you” to teachers and to show how much we support them. More than $5 million in grants, gift cards and resource value is slated to be given to teachers and educators across the country on The BIG DAY, much of which will come via creative surprises. Many CFP Foundation partners, colleges, universities, conferences and bowl games have committed to participate in the generosity and celebration. Thousands of teachers, classrooms and schools will be impacted, with millions of kids benefited through generous investments for supplies, resources, classroom improvements, and media center makeovers.
The CFP Foundation encourages all to envision a country in which our greatest assets, teachers, are given the resources, recognition and professional development to help them prepare students for success. The CFP Foundation has invested approximately $38 million in support of K-through-12 education, supporting more than 311,000 teachers nationwide and creating a positive impact for more than seven million students.
