BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Following the success of last year’s initiative, Daniel Stark Injury Lawyers is bringing back its Teacher Amazon Wish List Giveaway for a second year — this time, with even more support for educators. In 2024, the firm awarded one teacher $1,000 to purchase supplies from their Amazon Wishlist. This year, three teachers will each receive $1,000 in supplies.
“At Daniel Stark, we have strong ties to the communities we serve,” said Madeline Edwards, community coordinator at Daniel Stark. “Through school sponsorships, volunteer work, and local partnerships, we’re regularly inside classrooms and school events, so we’ve seen firsthand the challenges educators face.”
This year’s expanded giveaway also reflects feedback gathered from teachers who expressed how much even a few hundred dollars could relieve financial pressure. By increasing both the number of recipients and the amount of the award, Daniel Stark aims to broaden its impact across multiple school districts in Central Texas.
According to a survey conducted by CouponBirds, teachers in Texas spent an average of $1,396 of their own money last year stocking their classrooms with items such as supplies, decorations, educational materials, snacks, cleaning supplies, and even first aid supplies.
Megan Green, a third-grade teacher at Leander ISD and last year’s giveaway recipient, used this opportunity to purchase sensory aids like fidget toys, educational games, flexible seating, and classroom decor, transforming her space into a welcoming environment where students feel safe and excited to learn. “Seriously such a blessing! Thank you for supporting me and other teachers,” said Green.
Green’s story is just one example of how direct support can create meaningful change in the classroom. These funds don’t just buy materials—they create opportunities for creative teaching approaches, address individual learning needs, and help ensure no child goes without basic resources.
“We heard so many stories last year about the sacrifices teachers make to make sure their students have what they need to succeed,” Edwards added. “This giveaway is one small way we can help lighten that load and show appreciation for the educators who give so much every day.”
In addition to the giveaway, Daniel Stark is partnering with local education foundations, such as Round Rock ISD’s Education Foundation: Back-to-School Celebration, Austin ISD’s Back to School Backpack Drive, Holland ISD’s Teacher Snack Cart, and College Station ISD’s Volunteer Appreciation to promote broader awareness of the issue and encourage others to contribute. The firm is also using its social media platforms to spotlight participating teachers and amplify their voices.
Teachers interested in entering can visit DanielStark.com beginning June 16, 2025. The application period will remain open through the summer. Three winners will be selected and notified by phone on August 8, 2025.
