The actress has partnered up with MadeGood, an organic, allergy-friendly, better-for-you snack brand, to launch the company's Share Some Good Fund campaign. The initiative is awarding $200,000 to 1,000 teachers in the United States to help them buy much-needed school supplies at the start of the school year.
Recalling his first meeting with Ralph, Harper shares that he slid into the actress' DMs when he was still in high school."We begged Mrs. Ralph to come in and be our keynote speaker at our high school graduation because we knew her brilliance and excellence way before it became so popular because we love her in Philly," he tells ET.
The child of a teacher herself, Ralph more than understands the vital role teachers play in students' lives. Agreeing that teachers are unsung heroes that just don't get recognized, Ralph notes that "for the job that they do, they never get enough respect, they never make the money that they should be making for what they do."
