Bonita Springs, FL, January 23, 2007 - Janis Spracher, a sixth grade school teacher at Hope Elementary, is one of 25 recipients of the Airborne® Teacher Trust Fund™ (ATTF) grant. The grant, created by Airborne, Inc., makers of the popular immune-boosting herbal health formula, is designed to help elementary and middle school teachers implement art and music programs in their schools.

Spracher received a $4,125 grant to help produce a Shakespearean musical. The production is in need of various materials such as, costumes, music and objects to design the set.

"A musical production offers students invaluable opportunities to develop their performing arts skills and have fun," says Janis. "Our students will benefit in innumerable ways bye being a part of this special performance."

Understanding the need for funding in art and music subjects, Victoria Knight-McDowell, a former second-grade school teacher and creator of Airborne Health Formula developed the Airborne® Teacher Trust Fund™.

"With budgets becoming tighter each year, schools are faced with the difficult decision of having to cut vital programs," says Knight-McDowell. "The Airborne® Teacher Trust Fund™ is meant to fill the gap and keep our youth engaged and inspired, so they can live full and rewarding lives."

The first quarter brought in an astounding 600 applications from teachers in Florida, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts and Missouri. Reviewing all applications, the panel of judges selected 25 recipients from the five states.

"It's frightening to think of a world in which children are not exposed to the arts in any meaningful way," says Elise Donahue, Airborne CEO. "As corporations and individuals it is up to us to make sure we're investing in the future of our country." Donahue said that the Airborne® Teacher Trust Fund™ is beginning with an investment of $250,000. Grants ranging from $200 to $10,000 will be awarded to teachers to implement programs during the 2006-2007 school year.

The grants will be awarded on a quarterly basis, however all applications will be kept on file for consideration until April 2007. Programs are evaluated based on need, projected impact to students, educational program elements and, of course, the teacher's desire and passion to succeed.
