Chattanooga Red Wolves SC Announce Educator Appreciation Night with Hamilton County Department of Education

CHATTANOOGA, TN. (August 16th, 2021) – This afternoon the Chattanooga Red Wolves SC and Hamilton County Schools announced their 2021 Educator Appreciation Night. The celebration will take place throughout Chattanooga’s September 8th match vs North Texas SC at CHI Memorial Stadium. The match will kick off at 7pm est. 

Educator Appreciation night will feature a variety of events centered around recognizing educators and their efforts to ensure all children thrive. Some of which will be; a supply drive to help stock the HCS  Teacher Store, Jumbotron and PA recognition, prizes and giveaways for educators, and educators featured in the matches halftime events. HCS and the Chattanooga Red Wolves will be partnering through a select ticket revenue split to help raise funds for a new initiative that HCS will be launching this fall, the Teacher Store. The Teacher Store is an initiative that helps stock a “Store” for teachers to select from for free when outfitting their classrooms with the supplies needed from day to day in an effort to alleviate each educator’s financial burden.

“Being able to help recognize and support our local educators is an honor,” says Red Wolves SC President Sean McDaniel. “I think we all learned very quickly last year how difficult the jobs of educators really are. We cannot thank them enough and are looking forward to celebrating them on September 8th and putting on a fun and entertaining show on the pitch.”

“Our educators and staff have continued to step up to the plate, especially during the pandemic,” says Dr. Bryan Johnson, Hamilton County Schools Superintendent. “We are grateful for this opportunity to recognize their hard work and resilience.”  

The Red Wolves have been in strong form this year and have quickly cemented themselves as not only a must watch team in Chattanooga but also the entire United Soccer League, having put away eight late match goals in the 80th minute or to decide the game. A stat currently unparalleled across the entire USL and MLS. The squad has also won all but one match through the halfway point of the season, earning themselves the second spot on the league table just points from first.
