Tick ​​tack has announced a partnership with the National PTA, a formal organization made up of parents, teachers and staff to facilitate parents' participation in a school. With school closings across the country affecting students and teachers, millions of households have mastered the emerging challenges posed by the COVID 19 pandemic.

This donation will help us continue to support and stand up for families, schools and communities across the country and to help them overcome the many challenges that COVID-19 has created, ”said Leslie Boggs, President of National PTA .

“PTAs across the country are working more than ever to ensure that our families and school communities are safe, healthy and have what they need. They are currently focusing on social and emotional wellbeing, distance learning and distance learning resources, bridging the digital divide and access to school meals benefits. Thanks to the generous support of TikTok, PTA can significantly increase our efforts in all of these critical areas. "
