It's Week 3 of October, so we have this week and then two more weeks to go. So far we've teamed up to support projects reaching 176 students, which is awesome. We're fourth on the leaderboard of Tech Blogs, and I'm so excited about the projects we're backing that I'm ready to throw down a challenge: When we get our total to $250, I'll kick in a $50 match.
We already knocked out the "Legos Help Our Egos" project (and let's all take a second to smile about how STOKED those kids are going to be the day those LEGOs show up, amirite?), but the Giving Page still has some fun, worthwhile stuff on it. In fact, I just added a few more things because so many of our projects have been completed -- the Tech Blogs group as a whole has thrown in, oh, THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS so far, which is just...oh my gosh. It's huge.
So thanks for your support so far, and chip in a little more so we can get to the match -- this is my own cash here, my second donation, money I might otherwise blow chasing Robbie's dream of 31 tacos in a month. Which is noble, sure, but it's just not quite as important as picturebooks for kindergarteners, is it now?
Oh, and other than the match, your donation this week will enter you to win a fabulous prize, namely a $25 iTunes Gift Card (which is a $25 value!!! Free shipping!!!), plus a brand-new copy of The Sims 3 (it's a hybrid disc that can run on Intel Macs or Windows XP/Vista), plus a Mac|Life T-shirt (men's or women's sizes, not sold in stores, be the first on your block to have one). To enter, just forward me your donation receipt (susie at maclife dot com) before the deadline of 11:59pm Pacific on Saturday, October 17. Go ahead and shoot me an email if you have any questions.
Now go forth and do good, you attractive, brilliant do-gooders. Thank you.
