donate lj's money to help schools

Yikes, there's only about 2 hours left to do this, but hopefully a few people will see it-- LJ is offering $30 gift certificates for donorschoose.org, where you can browse teachers' requests for funding for specific projects. I'm not explaining this well, but I'm trying to write it as quickly as possible.

Bottom line, email donorschoose@sixapart.com before 5 pm Pacific time today (10/1) and you'll get $30 of LJ's money to donate to needy schools.

ETA: There are several sewing-related requests, which I think is kind of awesome. Here's one, and here's another, and this one in particular is fashion/costuming related. I got 17 results total when I typed "sewing" in the search box.

I just emailed them. Thanks for the timely post. I can't wait to help fund a biology project.

Thanks for the headsup! I passed the info along in my journal, in case anyone happens to see it in the next little while...

Thanks for pointing that out! I found a poor school needing band instruments. :-)

Hey, I just noticed that there's a sewing one in Sars's challenge (you could win My So-Called Life!) if you haven't spent your certificate already. Here and then forward the receipt to sars@tomatonation.com.

Aaaand you already linked it. Sigh. I need blu's icon: I can't brain today, I have the dumb.
