"Educators have an incredible impact on students and their local communities, but can only do so if they have the resources they need. That's why TikTok Shop is donating $100,000 to PTA, including a donation to three high schools in the Seattle region, to support teachers and faculty as they head back to school," said Mary Hubbard, Head of Americas Governance and Experience for TikTok Shop. "In addition to funding for classroom supplies, we're excited to recognize this community with a selection of popular and trusted items from TikTok Shop, including Brumate beverage tumblers, Noahtec charging pads and JLab wireless ear pods." 

“Across the country there are great disparities in the quality of and access to educational opportunities. Educators often spend their own money to ensure their students have access to supplies and resources and receive the best education possible,” said Yvonne Johnson, president of National PTA. “National PTA is grateful to TikTok Shop for helping us give back to educators and provide supplies to schools as the new school year kicks off.”
