I would like to use this occasion to thank all the people, anonymous and otherwise, who donated to my challenge on DonorsChoose last month. You donated a total of $1,518 affecting the math and science education of 471 students in schools with high proportions of kids on free lunches.
Unlike some of my SciBlings who garnered lots of small donations, I am like Hillary – getting most of my funding from a few big donors (bundlers) 😉 Anyway, big or small, all your donations are greatly appreciated. Seed Media Group will add matching $15,000 and DonorsChoose will add 10% to each completed challenge. When it all adds up, scienceblogs.com collected more funds for kids education than the Stephen Colbert for President committee even though he is touting it on TV every day! Congratulations and Thanks to all.
Following my obscure rules for prizes, it is now time to announce the winners:
The Clock Around The Blog Around The Clock is on its way to Michelle.
The Blog Around The Clock Mug is on its way to The Ridger.
I am not at liberty to reveal the identity of the third winner (of the ABATC t-shirt) at this time.
Janet, Mike and Ginny, among others, have the scoop on this year’s drive as well as what you can keep doing now that the drive is officially over. My thermometer will remain on the sidebar for some time in the future (likely until the NEXT year’s drive) so you don’t need to stop now.
Thanks!
