Sb/DonorsChoose fundraiser preliminary result.

By jstemwedel on July 2, 2006.

Between the moment the drive kicked off on June 15 and the moment it closed last night, here's what generous ScienceBlogs readers accomplished:

  • 195 of you made donations.
  • Together, those donations added up to $16,097.27.
  • You also helped 4 of the 19 challenges meet their goals, securing an additional 10% of the totals raised in those challenges ($841.53) from DonorsChoose.
  • Thus, with the $10,000 match from SEED, you've raised $26,938.80 to help students and teachers get what they need to make education happen.

That's pretty awesome! We thank you and the teachers and kids thank you.

Don't forget: If you want to be in the drawing for the fabulous prizes, forward your email confirmation from DonorsChoose it to: sb.donorschoose.bonanza@gmail.com This is your contest entry. Starting July 5, we'll select random entries and keep going till we've given away all the prizes.
