Eight Generous Readers

So eight of you, besides me, so far, think that Donors Choose is a worthy cause. The generous eight have had an impact on 305 students! (See the Leaderboard for details.)

I just hope some of you will find this to be a worthwhile place to spend some of your philanthropic dollars!
