This is the last time I'll pester you, I promise. The DonorsChoose challenge ends after the end of this month, and we've done well. We met my goal of raising $20,000 dollars, 200 freethinkers have stepped up to make donations, and 30 of my 31 chosen projects have been fully funded. That does mean that there is one project that isn't quite there yet: Embryology in the Classroom is $292 shy of completion. If a few more could chip in a few more dollars, we can achieve perfection.
Good work, everyone!

20 Sb blogs mounted challenges; 12 of them met or exceeded their fundraising goals.…
Looks like all your projects have been fully funded now. Impressive.
You posted at 6:00AM and by the time I saw this post at 8:45AM the project was fully funded!
Looking at the numbers people have donated got me to think about how much good the money used on AiG's Creation museum could have done.

I was feeling warm and fuzzy, now I'm just depressed. I guess I'm going to have to go read my emails from the recipients again.
Well darn it! The last one was funded already when I read the post. So is this project not on the Pharyngula Challenge list: http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=114724
Well, I thought it looked like a cool project!
