Ladies and Gentlemen, this is it! Final call! The Fat Lady will sing on Friday night for the October Donors Choose Bloggers’ Challenge, so now is the time to whip out your credit cards and offer up a donation to a worthy cause, oh and ps, win some extra brownie points for our Los Angeles Moms Blog.
See, every time you donate through our widget, we move up the ladder a bit, a teensy bit closer to the top, a teensy bit closer to being able to claim the title of “Most Awesome Fund-raisers Through Use Of A Blog”, which is a title we have been coveting.
No, no money comes to us, the bloggers. It all goes to the classrooms you choose (hence the name, Donors Choose, see? You’re the donor — and you choose. It’s so beautiful that way.)
And these classrooms are really in need! One needs storage room because they don’t have proper desks, and many of them need books. It’s just a crying shame that this is the state of public education funding in America today. But we can’t waste time feeling badly about it, we need to act! We need to fund these projects!
I urge you to give what you can afford. I urge you to help the LA Moms Blog win the most brownie points. And I gotta tell you — there are a couple of great projects right here that aren’t listed in our widget — SO WE WON’T EVEN GET CREDIT FOR THEM — and yet, I still want you to consider funding them. A few dollars can make a difference: The difference between getting books or not; the difference between getting a good education and getting a great one.
One class has a proposal for a dvd/vcr (for educational purposes, of course!), another has a need for markers (MARKERS, for’ God’s sake, somebody help get them markers!), and the same class wants pedometers to get the kids walking and getting healthier — can anyone argue with this?
So please, people! Help our LA Moms get brownie points — I mean, please help fund these worthy programs in classrooms right here in Los Angeles. And thank you!
