BADGERS & CREEPERS FOR CHARITY
DONORSCHOOSE GLAM A CLASSROOM UPDATE



$4,549 RAISED - 4,845 STUDENTS HELPED
VISIT OUR GIVING PAGE

We have done a really awesome job so far and we have a lot to be proud of! To date we have either funded projects or currently have open projects in all 50 states! We still have some time to go, however, and I'd like to see us crank it up even more if we can.

I just got an email from DonorsChoose stating that they are adding extra elements to the contest. Read on:
★ From now until Friday, August 20th at midnight EST, any individual who makes a donation to Glam A Classroom will be entered to win a Meet & Greet with Adam
★ They will also be holding a contest to see which fangroup has the most new donors between now and the 20th. The top 3 fangroups who have the most new donors will receive DonorsChoose gift cards to fund extra projects. 1st place gets $750, 2nd place gets $350, 3rd place gets $150.

This is in ADDITION to the prizes they are already giving away.

So to break it on down, what do we need to do here?
★ MAKE A DONATION. Visit our Giving Page and, y'know, give. Even if it's just $1 between now and the 20th, it will enter you in a chance for a meet and greet with Big Al.
★ ENCOURAGE NEW DONORS. If you've never donated, chip in $1. If you know someone who might donate, ask them. (Nothing on our DC page is shippery if this is a concern for you.)

"Okay, Ashleigh, I'm so broke I'm starving and I'm a hermit so I have no friends who will donate," you might be saying. Well. Bing is still handing out $3 Giving Cards. Let me say that again in even bigger font.
BING IS STILL HANDING OUT GIVING CARDS. FOR FREE.

ETA: QUESTIONS WE HAVE BEEN ASKED
★ If you've donated before this new DC contest, during, or after this part of the contest ends, you are still eligible to contribute to the groupcard.
★ As far as I know, this part of the contest does NOT end the whole competition. The competition will carry on 'til DonorsChoose calls an end to it I guess.
★ If you want to cross out personal information in your email proof, that's fine. However, from here on out I do need proof that you have actually contributed through OUR Giving Page and not someone else's so try and find a receipt, a link to your donation, etc that has "Badgers and Creepers for Charity" as the page you gave to
★ If we come in first, second, or third on the new donors page we will donate it to the most urgent projects open on our page.
