Rooter Hero Plumbing & Air, a residential and commercial service provider operating across Northern California, Southern California, and Arizona, has launched a Back-to-School Giveaway that allows community members to nominate teachers for a chance to receive a donation toward their classroom wishlist. The business will select three winners from each of the three regions. The initiative is also supported by a contribution from HomeGuru, a longtime vendor partner of the company.
The nomination process for the Back-to-School Giveaway is simple and conducted entirely online. It requires entrants to complete a form explaining why their chosen teacher deserves recognition and to provide a link to that teacher’s wishlist, and the submission period remains open until August 23, with winners announced on August 24.
