Published

In honor of our public school teachers and in celebration of Young Sheldon’s third season premiere Thursday, September 26, at 8:00 pm ET/PT on CBS, The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation (TCLFF) continues its public school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education commitment and  announced it has partnered with DonorsChoose.org by committing to a $200,000.00 matching gift in support of middle school STEM  projects. On September 24, 25 and 26, TCLFF will be doubling all donations made on the DonorsChoose.org site for any middle school applied science projects tagged with the Young Sheldon logo. To date, teachers at 83 percent of the nation’s public schools have created a classroom project request on DonorsChoose.org.

 

“We’re so grateful for the support of The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation and Young Sheldon,” said Charles Best, founder of DonorsChoose.org. “This funding will help middle school STEM teachers give important learning opportunities to their students, spurring America’s future scientists, engineers, and mathematicians to success.”

 

Chuck Lorre said, “On behalf of all of us at Young Sheldon, we are honored to continue our support of public school STEM education and teachers by partnering with DonorsChoose.org. Our public school teachers are truly unsung heroes, and it’s shocking that, on average, they spend about $479.00 of their own money for classroom projects. We hope this matching gift will, in some small way, help teachers and students bring their classroom dreams to life.”

 

The Young Sheldon Back to School Match promotion with DonorsChoose.org in support of public school teachers and middle school applied science projects follows The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation’s collaborative establishment of THE YOUNG SHELDON STEM INITIATIVE in 2018, The Big Bang Theory Graduate Fellowship Fund in 2019, and The Big Bang Theory Scholarship Endowment at UCLA in 2015.

 

THE YOUNG SHELDON STEM INITIATIVE provides two-year grants to 20 public schools in Southern California and East Texas, totaling more than $600,000.00 in funding designed specifically to support each school’s STEM teachers and their in-class curriculum, after-school programs and experiential field trips. THE YOUNG SHELDON STEM INITIATIVE currently reaches more than 22,000 students; 25% of those students qualify for free and reduced lunches. The Big Bang Theory Scholarship Endowment at UCLA was launched to assist undergraduate students in need of financial aid who are pursuing their higher education in STEM fields. The more than $5 million endowment includes unprecedented partner donations from TBBT cast, producers, crew, CBS, and Warner Bros. Television, among others. The Big Bang Theory Graduate Fellowship Fund provides $20,000.00 per year in funding for TBBT/UCLA scholars who have been accepted into a STEM-focused graduate or PhD program. Of the inaugural class of 20 TBBT/UCLA scholars who graduated from UCLA in June 2019, three will be attending graduate school.

DISNEY+ CASTS DANIEL DIEMER AS FAN-FAVORITE ‘TYSON’IN SEASON TWO OF “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
