MINNEAPOLIS--In celebration of teachers, and the importance of education throughout our communities, Christopher & Banks is proud to announce the launch of the Christopher & Banks Teacher Scholarship Program. The unique new program will benefit not only undergraduate students currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Education, but will also lend support to teachers seeking continuing education. In its first year, the program will award scholarships to 35 individuals who demonstrate a commitment to education.
"At Christopher & Banks, we believe that by investing in our teachers, we invest in our community as a whole," says Lorna Nagler, president and CEO of Christopher & Banks Corporation. "Christopher & Banks Corporation recognizes that good teachers make all the difference for students, our communities and ultimately our country's future."
Exclusive teacher t-shirts and jewelry will be offered at the Christopher & Banks and CJ Banks stores nationwide beginning March 21. In support of the corporate commitment to this program, a generous twenty five percent of the proceeds from the sales of the exclusive teacher merchandise will be dedicated to the new scholarship program.
