Social Media Company Raises More Than $10K for Local Teachers

ALBANY — Two Buttons Deep, a company that creates social media content chronicling life in the Capital Region, announced this week that it had raised more than $10,000 for local teachers. The company said that the funds will pay for the “wish lists” of teachers who would otherwise have to pay out-of-pocket for classroom supplies not covered in school budgets.

Some of the biggest donors who took part in the “Big Tip Energy: Back to School Edition” fundraiser included Saratoga Eagle, Stella’s Creamery & Cakes, The Shaker and Vine, and Concord Pools & Spas.

Two Buttons Deep said that more than 100 local teachers submitted nominations hoping to have their classroom wish lists paid for. The fundraiser concluded on August 19.
