Clear the List campaign to fulfill teachers' wish lists

LOS ANGELES – Tieks, a Los Angeles-based footwear manufacturer, announced the launch of Tieks for Teachers: Clear the List, a heartfelt campaign aimed at fulfilling teachers’ wish lists and providing much-needed support to those shaping the future. Teachers are the unsung heroes of our communities, often sacrificing their own time and resources to ensure their students have the essentials they need to learn and thrive.

From August 14-31, the public is invited to join Tieks in supporting our instructors by contributing teacher wish lists for essential school supplies. Those who donate at least $25 will receive a $50 Tieks gift card, as part of Tieks’ unwavering commitment to empowering educators.

The response has been overwhelming in the first few days of Tieks’ Clear the List campaign. In the first 24 hours, the promotion generated over $50,000 in wish list submissions. This early success demonstrates the power of communities coming together to support the essential work of educators.

This campaign follows the overwhelming success of the Tieks for Teachers Back-to-School Giveaway, which garnered over 20,000 nominations and highlighted the tremendous need among educators. The Back-to-School Giveaway’s grand prize included $500 toward a teacher’s classroom wish list and a $500 Tieks gift card, while five runners-up received $200 toward their classroom wish lists and a $200 Tieks gift card.

“Teachers are the backbone of our education system and often go above and beyond to ensure students have what they need to succeed,” said Kfir Gavrieli, CEO and Founder of Tieks. “At Tieks, we believe it is our duty to support these incredible educators so they can continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of their students.”

This initiative is more than just a campaign; it is a call to action for communities to come together in support of educators who play such a crucial role in shaping the future. By contributing to teachers’ wish lists, we can collectively ensure that no student is left without the tools needed to succeed.

One teacher shared: “I help support students who are homeless by providing them with school supplies, backpacks, personal hygiene items, and food. This additional support is essential for them.”

Tieks has a proud history of stepping up in times of need. In 2020, the company launched the Tieks for Heroes campaign, which provided gift cards to medical, first responder, and military personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tieks for Teachers campaign continues this tradition, highlighting educators who work tirelessly to inspire and uplift their students, often with limited resources.
