Your Back to School Bash Guide
If you've got a teacher in your life, you already know: the first month back to school is nuts. It's like having to run a marathon but at the pace of a sprint.
New schedules. New supplies. A classroom full of kids who haven't quite remembered how to sit still yet. By the time August wraps up, most teachers are ready for another summer break!
That's why we're throwing them a Back to School Bash.
The Back to School Bash
📍 Old Dominick Rooftop
📅 Thursday, August 20, 2026
⏰ 4:00 – 7:00 PM
Free drinks. Free food. Raffles. A live DJ. And a rooftop full of people who get exactly what a teacher's job is like.
If you know a teacher, forward this to them. All they need is a valid Teacher ID to walk in.
How You Can Get Plugged In
You don't have to be in a classroom to show up for the people who are.
Give901 is running a fundraiser to help us throw this thing right, and you can buy a teacher a drink, a round, or a table of appetizers. Every gift goes straight into making August 20th feel like a real thank-you.
Buy a teacher a drink that says, "You’re awesome."
A simple "cheers" goes a long way. Your $10 gift covers a well-earned drink for a Memphis teacher—because staying late, grading papers, and showing up for students every day deserves a toast.
Fuel a table with appetizers. Your $28 helps us treat a table of teachers to some awesome appetizers. Because every educator deserves delicious treats.
A round of drinks for a team of happy teachers. Help an entire squad of educators kick back and relax with a round of drinks. Your $60 is a huge thank you to everyone working hard all day in the classroom.
Bringing the party with a baker’s dozen of drinks! With $130, you’re not just buying drinks—you’re making the party happen. That’s 13 well-deserved cheers for incredible educators.
You’re part of the team! For $250, you’re throwing the party with us! We’ll give you (or your organization) a shout-out on our socials as a thank you.
