ORANGE COUNTY, CA — Are you an educator in Orange County, or a resident looking to give a teacher some extra love this start of the school year? As teachers across the country return to campus, Dunkin' is introducing a special offer in celebration of local educators.

On Thursday, Sept. 1, Dunkin' restaurants throughout California are treating teachers to a free medium hot or iced coffee.

In addition, Dunkin' will host a "Raise A Cup to Teachers" sweepstakes where guests in California can nominate a deserving California teacher for their chance to win free coffee for a year, and a "coffee break" for their school.

Residents can submit nominations from Sept. 1 through Oct. 5 by filling out a registration form on the restaurant's website.

“Teachers play an invaluable role in our communities and help provide their students with the means for a better future,” Dunkin’ Field Marketing Manager Jamie Struwe said.“We’re excited to offer our deserving educators a coffee break and recognize them for their passion and dedication to our youth.”
