9)  Airborne Launches Teacher Trust Fund to Support School Art 
         and Music Programs
 
 Deadline: Rolling
 
 Airborne, Inc. ( http://www.airbornehealth.com/ ), maker of the  cough and
cold herbal supplement, has established the Airborne  Teacher Trust Fund, a
nonprofit charitable corporation, to fund  art and music programs in
elementary and middle schools that are  in jeopardy of being lost due to
budgetary cuts or limitations.
 
 The Airborne Teacher Trust Fund is beginning with an investment  of
$250,000. In addition, a portion of the sale of every Airborne  product will
go toward building the fund and supporting programs.
 Grants ranging from $200 to $10,000 will be awarded to teachers  to
implement programs during the 2006-07 school year.
 
 The Airborne Teacher Trust Fund will initially be offered to  teachers from
public and private schools in California, Florida,  Louisiana,
Massachusetts, and Missouri. Each quarter, additional  states will become
eligible until the program is rolled out  nationally.
 
 Teachers will be able to submit applications year-round. At the  end of
each quarter, the judges will select recipients from the  applicant pool.
Recipients will be announced each month of the  following quarter. (The
foundation's calendar is as follows: 
 1st Quarter: August 2006 - October 2006; 2nd Quarter: November
 2006 - January 2007; 3rd Quarter: February 2007 - April 2007.)  The number
of recipients and the recipients' projects will  determine how many
announcements are made each month.
 
 Application guidelines, updates on eligible states, and the  online
application form are available at the Airborne Teacher  Trust Fund Web site.
