Supporting local classrooms in need and benefitting students and teachers alike, WNBC and WNJU, NBC 4 New York and Telemundo 47 respectively, announced the return of their annual Supporting our Schools / Apoyando a Nuestras Escuelas community appeal.

Hosted in partnership with DonorsChoose, the appeal kicks off today and will continue through #GivingTuesday on Tuesday, Nov. 28.

Both stations will match the first $3,000 in donations made via nbcnewyork.com/schools or telemundo47.com/escuelas on both Nov. 13 and 28.

“Supporting our Schools gets new technology, writing supplies, books and other important learning materials directly into the hands of students and teachers,” says Eric Lerner, WNBC’s GM. “Our WNBC and WNJU viewers have generously donated close to $60,000 over the three years, funding classroom projects benefitting more than 58,000 students in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.”

Supporting our Schools / Apoyando a Nuestras Escuelas is a classroom needs awareness campaign led nationally by NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations. 

“Our Apoyando a Nuestras Escuelas appeal is a fully transparent effort from start to finish, detailing where every dollar is spent and providing timely updates throughout the donation process. You will learn when the project is fully funded and when the classroom materials are delivered into the classrooms,” says Cristina Schwarz, Telemundo 47’s GM. “I am always moved by the thank you notes coming in from the students and teachers; they really touch your heart. It is important to give back and support our community, especially the children.”
