Eckrich supports teachers with $600,000 donation

Eckrich, the official Smoked Sausage and Deli Meat Sponsor of the College Football Playoff, welcomed ESPN sports journalist Marty Smith onto the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to participate in the Eckrich $1 Million Challenge for Teachers during the CFP National Championship between Notre Dame and Ohio State. Smith successfully made the 10-yard winning throw, resulting in a donation of $600,000 for the CFP Foundation's Extra Yard for Teachers initiative. 

Since 2018, Eckrich has supported the CFP Foundation's Extra Yard for Teachers and donated more than $3 million to educators across the country. The partnership brings teachers onto the field at local college games to attempt a throw at a target from 15 yards for a chance to win up to $1 million to fund their local schools.
