Honorees will receive four lower-level tickets to a Suns home game, a $50 Team Shop gift card, the opportunity to watch the Suns pre-game warm-ups courtside prior to participating in an on-court photograph, and dinner in the team’s Club Annexus, located at US Airways Center..

Students who nominate the winning teacher will receive four lower-level tickets to the Suns home game in which his or her teacher is honored, dinner and the opportunity to watch the Suns warm up with his or her teacher.

In April, one of the nominating students will be awarded a grand prize that includes two courtside seats to an upcoming Suns regular season home game, an autographed Suns jersey and a tour of the team’s locker room.
