DonorsChoose.org (*Giveaway)

August 30, 2010

Today is a very different kind of giveaway….

With all the hype on Back-to-School (The Good Stuff Guide included!), it’s easy to forget the thousands of adorables who won’t be bringing new crayons, markers, and backpacks to school.

So today our “winners” are going to be those adorables.

I need you to meet DonorsChoose.org

Donors Choose.org is a highly-rated 501(c)(3) Not-for-profit which pairs helpful people with needy classrooms. You can find classrooms to help by a specific subject area, by state (even by city), or by urgency of need.

“Giveaway”

The Good Stuff Guide will donate $50 + $1 for every comment entered by Friday, September 4th for a maximum of $200 to DonorsChoose.org. The “winner” gets to choose the state where the money will be sent, and has the option to choose the specific classroom (high poverty classrooms only please).

Because I just LOVE comments, here’s how to gain extra entries (please leave them as separate entries):

Do you subscribe by email or RSS to The Good Stuff Guide? I love my subscribers, so you get an extra entry. Wahoo!
Email 5 of your friends about The Good Stuff Guide and tell them what a rockin’ website this is. We’d love to have them join us!
“Like” The Good Stuff Guide on Facebook and receive the latest news and your chance at additional giveaways. (I LIKE you too!)

So, yes, each of you can be responsible for up to $4 going towards DonorsChoose.org. In fact, I’d be thrilled!

And please visit DonorsChoose.org to see what classrooms have need of in your area, or nationwide.

Hopefully through our efforts, lots of adorables will become winners today!
