CONGRATULATIONS to our twenty-five 2025 Cheers to Public Service Winners and a heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every teacher that was nominated for an award!
Every year, it gets more and more difficult to select just a handful of winners from so many deserving educators, but we are so grateful to all of the parents, students and colleagues that took the time to tell us about a teacher that has had a positive impact on their life, or the life of a loved one. Keep in mind, that even if your nominee did not win this year, your heartfelt stories of gratitude and appreciation helped 218 local teachers stand a little bit taller and shine a little bit brighter…and for that we can’t thank you enough!
A huge thank you to our Pillar Partners – the Junior League of Tampa & Ford of Port Richey – our friends with the Rotary Club of Seminole Lake and our longtime partners within each of our participating school districts for making this program possible and helping facilitate its growth.
Please join us at the below locations on the listed dates to help us recognize and applaud this year’s extraordinary Cheers to Public Service winners! We look forward to working alongside all of you to continue to expand this program and celebrate more and more teachers, year after year!
Cheers to Public Service Winners are selected based on:
- Impact on Students
- Impact on School Culture
- Voting

In The News
Nominations are now open for the Cheers to Public Service awards put on by Irish 31’s iCare Foundation. This program recognizes and rewards extraordinary local educators who undeniably impact the lives of our children and our community as a whole.
Tampa Bay area teachers are being recognized for their hard work and dedication to the classroom through a local initiative, and the public is asked to help in the process.
Irish 31 is now accepting nominations for its 6th Annual Cheers to Public Service Awards where 25 teachers will each receive $1000 to spend on themselves.
It’s known for great food and cold beer, but Irish 31 is more than just a fun place to eat. For the past five years, the restaurant chain has been helping the community through its non-profit, the iCare Foundation.
For the fourth year in a row, Irish 31’s iCare Foundation will launch its annual Cheers to Public Service Awards, which recognizes and rewards extraordinary local educators with $1000 each and other prizes from Pillar Partners.
