Teachers' Treasures and the American College of Education are proud to present the Circle City Donut Dash! This 5K benefits Teachers' Treasures, an Indianapolis based 501(c)(3) that distributes vital supplies and resources to teachers of students in need. Since 2000, $94 Million worth of school supplies have been distributed.

Every day at public, private, charter, and parochial schools located throughout Marion County, children of all ages attend class without the most basic supplies they need to get a good education. Dedicated teachers are often willing to pay for these much-needed supplies out of their own pockets to make sure the kids in their classrooms have the necessary tools to learn. On average, teachers spend $800-$1200 a year on school supplies for their students.

Teachers’ Treasures, in partnership with local businesses, charitable foundations, neighborhood organizations, and individual contributors, helps fill this need by operating a volunteer-based “Store for Teachers.” Donated educational supplies and other materials are distributed via this unique conduit to teachers for the benefit of their students. We serve teachers from any school (public, private, charter, or parochial) in Marion County and the immediately surrounding school districts with 60% of more of the student population on the free or reduced lunch programs are eligible.

More than 270 schools with a total of over 100,000 students meet this criteria.

Nearly 6,000 teachers participate in the program annually.
