Donors Choose - Thank You!

By evolgen on July 3, 2006.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the evolgen Donors Choose Blogger's Challenge. We have reached our goal of $500, which means Donors Choose will chip in an extra 10% for every dollar contributed. Everyone who forwarded their confirmation email to this address will be entered in a drawing to win some great prizes. There still are ten unfunded projects listed on the evolgen challenge page, so I will keep the challenge up for an undetermined period of time. Go here to donate to those unfunded proposals.

Finally, I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Janet for organizing this fund raising effort. ScienceBlogs readers have contributed over $15,000 (plus an additional $10,000 from SEED) to support science education in the United States. Great work, guys!
