Tucson teachers can pick up a free school-supply kit at Monsoons Tap and Grill, 6781 N. Thornydale Road, on Wednesday, July 28.

The event, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., is part of Four Peaks Brewing Co.’s 11th annual Four Peaks For Teachers campaign, which is raising funds to distribute school supply kits to 10,000 teachers in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah.

At the event, teachers can grab one of 200 supply kits on a first-come, first-served basis with a valid teacher ID. The kits include supplies like paper reams, pencils, pens, staples and local coupons.
