DonorsChoose Week 4 Update!
So yes, as it stood yesterday we were at $700, and naturally the week 4 drawing is still open.
Awesome Mac|Life reader Greg has awesomely donated once, and yesterday he pledged to me, even more awesomely, to kick in another $100 if we can raise our group total to $900 by the end of the month. That would, of course, get us to $1,000, which was our goal. Yeah, my iPhone's got a calculator on it. Anyway, that is so awesome of Greg I just don't have the words. (That's why I've overrelied on "awesome," you see.) As of right now we are at $735, so we've only got $265 to go to get to Greg's magic number. You've got nine days people, get on it!
But call me Susie Jiller-Schobs, because I've got one more thing.
OK, there's this company HP, they make printers and monitors and stuff, and I think some computers that don't run Mac OS X. And they are generous and rad, so they are donating $200,000 to DonorsChoose. And they're doing this by giving out DonorsChoose gift cards to the participants in the Social Media Challenge (which is what we've been doing all month with the Giving Pages and all). And they're splitting up the money based on how much each Giving Page has raised.
(Is your jaw on the floor yet? Mine is.)
And so far we're at maybe half a percent of that total, so I'm hoping we'll get about a thousand bucks in DonorsChoose gift cards to spend. YOU GUYS, the people who donated to projects on our Giving Page, will get the gift cards. Which means you'll get to choose which projects that HP's money will go to. Dudes, I know we are Mac people through and through, but come on -- how cool is that?
Here's the thing: We have until THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, AT 11:59PM to get our total up for this HP money -- the bigger our total, the bigger slice of pie we'll get. HP has put up $200,000 in all, and we want to get as much of it as we can, right?
So please, please, please, if you were at ALL on the fence about donating, I truly hope this lights your fire enough to make a donation by Sunday. Go to this page, pick a project to support, give as much as you can -- any amount helps, even $1! -- and feel good about yourself. Then forward me your receipt (susie at maclife dot com) and I'll enter you to win the week 4 prizes, too.
Feel free to email with questions. I am so, so excited about this. Let's dig deep and help some kids. This school right here needs a MacBook? I say we make it happen!
Thank you, truly. Your generosity is most humbling and awesome. Thank you.
