A shiny red apple on a teacher’s desk. A thoughtfully written note. $300,000. Chance the Rapper plans on showing gratitude to teachers across America in a fairly substantial way with that cash prize and more as part of his inaugural Twilight Awards.
In partnership with Box Tops for Education, The Twilight Awards recognizes 10 teachers who’ve shown dedication and creativity in helping their students succeed by gifting them with the money, school supplies and donations for their respective schools.
The coronavirus pandemic forced Chance to host the first iteration of the awards show on his Instagram Live, where he'll chat with and surprise three to four teachers a night starting Wednesday, May 6 to Friday, May 8 at 8:00 p.m.
