Last week, students and teachers in 20 schools across 13 states were treated to a smoothie party hosted by Tropical Smoothie Cafe® in the Sunshine for Teachers contest. Over $100,000 in cash and prizes were awarded to these worthy teachers and their schools.

As the grand prize winner, Danny Kloosterman from Greeneview High School in Jamestown, OH, won a summer getaway worth up to $10,000 and free smoothies for a year. All first-place winners received a $1,000 cash award and free smoothies for a year. All 20 schools received a donation of $1,000 per school. 

“Congratulations to Mr. Kloosterman for winning the grand prize in the Sunshine for Teachers contest,” said Deborah von Kutzleben, Chief Marketing Officer at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, LLC. “We hope he enjoys his well-deserved summer getaway. On behalf of the Tropical Smoothie Cafe franchisees, we thank every family member and friend who nominated a teacher for this year’s program. Reading their stories and celebrating with the teachers at their schools was a highlight for all of us!” 

Over 11,000 nominations were submitted nationwide. From those entries, 20 finalists were announced on April 28, which was the opening day for the public voting phase to select the grand prize winner. The individuals who nominated the grand prize and first place winners will receive free smoothies for a year. See all the finalists at www.SunshineforTeachers.com.

The Sunshine for Teachers contest presented by Tropical Smoothie Cafe was executed in collaboration with Campus Multimedia, a school communication and marketing company that administers such programs on behalf of national brands.
