Don't delay, donate!

By pharyngula on June 16, 2006.

We have received most excellent news from Seed: notice that challenge bar to the left, where I (and many other science bloggers) are asking you to donate to public education? We're doing great—my challenge has gathered over a thousand dollars so far, all to help out teachers and schoolkids—but now Seed has announced that they will match the total donations, up to $10,000. Double your money!

I've set a goal of raising $2000 for teachers, but I've got a dozen projects listed, and they're going to need more than that if all are to be fully funded. If I hit the goal, don't stop—you can keep contributing. Janet has a list of the other participants, too, so if you want to spread the joy around some more, check out the others.

Oh, and everyone should shout out, "Yay, Seed!" right now. It's the right thing to do, even if it startles other people in the office or coffee shop.

Yikes!

The office thought I yelled out, 'Hayseed!'

I hope it doesn't result in yet another trip to HR.
