We?re less than four days from the end of this year?s Science Bloggers for Students drive, the last moments of Friday, November 9. And, I wanted to bring you up to date on the little post-Sandy challenge I issued last week. You may recall that I added three projects to my giving page from hurricane affected area:
Soil test kits for Dr. Charles E Brimm Medical Arts High School in Camden, New Jersey, to help students in an environmental science class with their urban gardening project. ? FULLY FUNDED!
Calculators for a math-intensive Earth Science class at a high school in New York City. ?Needs just $135 more to be fully funded. So, so close!
A human body torso display model for a middle school biology class in Carteret, New Jersey.?Needs $653 more to be fully funded. A little harder, but still do-able by the end of the drive.
Remember I said that for each of these new projects that we got to full funding before the end of the drive, I would donate $25 to the American Red Cross for Sandy relief? You got one to full funding, which puts $25 from me into American Red Cross for Sandy relief. We have another project almost to full funding ? which means I?m poised to kick another $25 to American Red Cross for Sandy relief. If get that third project that?s still in need of $653 fully funded, I?ll donate $100 to the American Red Cross for Sandy relief.
And, don?t forget that there?s still a dollar-for-dollar match from the DonorsChoose Board of Directors, good through the end of the drive on Friday (unless we blow through all $50,000 first, which would be awesome). Just enter SCIENCE in the ?Match or gift code? field at checkout, and every dollar you give up to $100 will be doubled.
Way to be awesome, science fans! Let?s finish strong.
