DonorsChoose 2008: Last Day

By sciencewoman on October 30, 2008.

It's the very last day of our DonorsChoose Reader Challenge for 2008. I just want to say how amazed I am by the generosity of our readers. I'm particularly proud that we have far more donors than many of our more widely read competitors er, Sciblings.

By the time we add in the contribution from Seed and the matches promised by Alice and I, we'll be well over our $2000 goal.

Yay, us!

So in these waning hours of our pledge drive er, reader challenge, there's only four reasons remaining to donate.

4. A chance to win a fabulous Yellow Ibis t-shirt, hopefully one of our Sciencewomen custom tees.
3. Prizes from Scienceblogs.
2. Every dollar you give today will still be matched by Alice and by me.
1. There are still thousands of teachers and students waiting for their projects to be funded, their classrooms to be reached, and the science education to be enriched.
