Donate now, and your generosity will be matched 110 percent!

We're off to a great start in the ScienceBloggers' Donors Choose fundraiser for teachers, but we've still got a long way to go. Now there's even more great news: SEED magazine will match all the funds we raise up to $10,000. Add that to my and Greta's offer to do a 10 percent match if Cognitive Daily reaches its goal of $1,000, and there's never been a better time to donate. Give $25, and it's like giving $52.50. Give $100, and it's like giving $210. Give $100 million, and send Dave and Greta to the poor house -- or at least determine the limits of our generosity -- either way, it's a nifty experiment. No gift is too large or too small, but remember, there is a special place in heaven for people who generously distribute bills with Franklin's face on them.

Oh, and one more thing. Janet Stemwedel has pointed out that the biologists are currently out-giving the brain-and-behavior folks. Sounds like a CHALLENGE. Let's show those biologists who really cares about helping kids. Give now, and give generously. Post on your own blogs, e-mail your friends (you can use the handy link below), and let's make this thing an unprecedented success!
