The Philadelphia Eagles and Nouryon, a global specialty chemicals leader, jointly announce that in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10, the 2024 Nouryon All-Pro Teachers program is open for nominations. The program, now in its 10th year, recognizes exceptional middle school and secondary school teachers throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. Nominations will be accepted now through October 25, 2024.
"It is a privilege to join Nouryon once again in recognizing the educators in our region for their commitment both in and out of the classroom," said Brian Napoli, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships, Philadelphia Eagles. "We have been fortunate to shine a much-deserved light on these unsung heroes over the past several years and now look forward to celebrating a whole new class for what will be the 10th anniversary of the Nouryon All-Pro Teachers program."
The Nouryon All-Pro Teachers program honors exceptional 5th through 12th grade teachers in the Greater Philadelphia region for their commitment to their students, school, and community. From Monday, May 6, 2024, to Friday, October 25, 2024, teachers in any school district throughout the region can be nominated by members of the community, current or former students, fellow teachers, and school administrators.

"We are pleased to partner with the Philadelphia Eagles on this program and announce the launch of the 2024 Nouryon All-Pro Teachers nominations," said Charlie Shaver, Chairman and CEO, Nouryon. "This program highlights the remarkable contributions of area educators who help students build their learning skills and expand their imaginations, and we couldn't be more proud to be a teacher resource for them."
Once all nominations have been submitted, the Eagles and Nouryon will then name 10 educators as All-Pro Teachers for demonstrating outstanding educational drive, innovation in the classroom, and community ownership. They each will be recognized at an Eagles home game, with one teacher also earning the prestigious honor of Nouryon All-Pro Teacher of the Year at the end of the season.

Dana M. Bowser, Chester High School (Chester, PA)

The Nouryon All-Pro Teachers Program gifts each honored teacher with $2,000 for classroom supplies, along with an official NFL jersey, tickets to an Eagles home game, and recognition during the game. An additional $5,000 and Eagles Pep Rally are presented to the Teacher of the Year.
Nouryon's partnership with the team also includes financial support around the Eagles Autism Foundation, which most recently included a $300,000 matching gift to help participants of the 2024 Eagles Autism Challenge reach and surpass their fundraising goals. It was largest matching gift in the Foundation's history and has contributed to the more than $25 million raised for cutting-edge autism research and care programs since 2018.
