Brother, Can You Spare Four Dollars?

As you have no doubt seen elsewhere on ScienceBlogs, the great DonorsChoose blog challenge ends tomorrow. I won't actually be here to do a final post on the subject, so this is the last prodding you'll get from me.

As of this morning, the Uncertain Principles challenge entry stands at $996.02, according to the leader board. If you've got a spare $3.98 that you don't know what to do with, please consider donating it to a worthy cause, to get us an even $1,000. Or kick in a little extra-- I'm not that obsessive about round numbers...

On the other hand, if you're being strategic about this, and wonderwing what the best way to maximize the impact of your donation would be, Janet has the answer. DonorsChoose will kick in an extra 10% of the donations to any challenge that meets its stated goal, and Janet has the list of the challenges that are closest to fulfillment. If you want a shot at turning $10 into $11, go to her post, and check out the options.

Again, thank you to all who have donated. And have a great weekend.

This year's DonorsChoose challenge is doing pretty well, with the total standing at a bit over $2,200. Thanks to all who have donated thus far.
As you have no doubt noticed, the annual DonorsChoose fundraiser is under way, raising money to help school teachers and children.
