Twenty teachers have been named as winners in the 2025 Arch Painting annual $10K Teacher Giveaway.

Arch Painting serves customers nationwide and is aware that teachers all over the country have a common challenge – availability of funds to serve certain basic needs in the classroom. As Arch Painting continues to grow nationally, contributing to the needs of the local communities it serves is a priority for the company.

“Teachers play a vital role in shaping the future, often going above and beyond to support their students. It’s no secret that teachers often spend their own money to bridge the gap in needs for their classrooms,” said Arch Painting President & CEO, Rich Kilgannon. “Arch Painting wants to help. Our annual teacher giveaway is a small way that we can invest in the communities we serve.”

“I teach first grade in a Title I school in Lawrence, Massachusetts, where many of my students are from low-income homes. This generous $500 will help provide essential classroom supplies, hands-on learning materials, and things to keep my kids thriving like snacks and water bottles,” said Madalena Navarrete, one of the 2025 winners. “These resources will make a meaningful difference for my students.”
