I’m not letting you off the hook that easy!

OK, folks, we’ve done a great job in our annual fundraiser (original press release)! I gave you a goal of $600 and you blew right through that in no time, accumulating more than $1,000 in donations to science education in Florida schools. That’s great news, and it’s made even better by the fact that Florida Citizens for Science will kick in its promised $600, too. All seven of the classrooms I signed us up for at the DonorsChoose website have been fully funded already, so I’ve added two more schools that can definitely be funded through the additional $600 FCS will kick in.

Before that money is dropped in the bucket, though, I want to try something else. If you take a look at the donations made so far you will notice that all of that money given so far came from only five people. My sincere thanks and admiration go out to those five people, but I think we need to boost that number up a bit. It would be great to show our support for science education through both cash and number of participants.

So, here is my challenge to you: donate $5 or $10. That’s it. Let’s see how close we can get to fully funding one of the two new classes I added to our DonorsChoose page through small donations only. I started you off with my own $10 donation to the Life Brings Life to Science Classroom project. When you go to donate, just erase the full amount pre-filled in the white box and replace it with your small donation amount. Easy!

The two new schools I’ve added are:
Royal Palm Charter School, Palm Bay
Franklin Park Magnet Elem School, Fort Myers
