By clock on September 20, 2006.

I have some great news to share. Thanks to an amazing outpouring of support in the first three weeks of The North Carolina Back to School Challenge we have raised over $24,569 for North Carolina kids!

When we started this campaign, we knew we were setting the bar high. But we're counting on you. And we know you won't let us down.

Fund a proposal before the campaign ends a week from Saturday--many proposals are 'almost there'.

Imagine the students that will be left out in the cold if we DON'T reach our $50,000 goal. Without your support today, some classrooms just won't get what they need this fall. We don't want to let that happen.

Scores of exciting proposals have already won the hearts of our donors. We've been madly purchasing supplies, and they are already on their way to North Carolina classrooms. Others need just a few more dollars to come to life!

You've funded projects for outstanding public school teachers all over North Carolina. Let's face it: these teachers are heroes. Every single one of them, just by posting on DonorsChoose, has gone above and beyond for their students. If not for the generosity of supporters like you, some would be paying for these supplies out of their own pockets. Others couldn't afford it, and students would simply go without.

Our ambitious campaign will mean MORE learning for MORE students. But only with YOUR help.

Bring us one step closer to reaching our goal.

A DonorsChoose challenge update, some new proposals, and what those proposals say about our screwed-up national priorities.
I can't begin to thank the people who have donated to the DonorsChoose campaign enough. As of today - four days into the campaign - we've raised $1045. That's more than was contributed during all of last year's 15-day campaign. That's absolutely fantastic. As of now, all four of the projects…
