There’s no I in Mustache, but there is a D in Donors Choose

Fellow stache supporters, I’m proud to announce that this year will be growing for Donors Choose, a fantastic charity that will keep our funds local while allowing individual growers to determine where their hard won donations will go.  Here’s a little blurb about them:

“DonorsChoose.org was born in the teachers’ lunchroom of a Bronx public high school where Charles Best, our founder, taught social studies for five years. He and his fellow teachers were spending lots of their own money on basic supplies but still seeing their students go without the books, art supplies, field trips, and other resources needed for a rigorous education. So they started a nonprofit website where any public school teacher can post a resource request for their students, and donors from all walks of life can choose the projects they want to support.
Teachers’ requests range from basic stuff like “Dictionaries for my Classroom” ($200) to really imaginative ideas like “Therapeutic Horseback Riding for my Disabled Students” ($800). Check out our search page and you can see that there are lots of live requests in your communities and/or projects that match a personal interest, like yoga, baseball, autism, or Dr. Seuss.
Your mustache sponsors can give as little as $5 to the classroom project of their choice, and 100% of their donations go to the projects. Then they get a thank-you letter and photographs from the students and teacher they (and YOU) supported!”

If that isn’t enough for you, check out the site at DonorsChoose.org.  If you do, you my notice a small button in the upper right corner that Mustches for Kids ‘08.  That’s right, Donors Choose is all over this hairy fundraiser like beer foam on a sweet stache.
