Almost Back to School Time!



Check out DonorsChoose.org for a great way to help out teachers who want to do special projects with their students. You pick the project you would like to support, fund it, and receive a class thank you card with photos! So much more fun than sending out a check to a general fund and never knowing if you really made an impact. Get your kids involved in picking which school project you want to help - a great way to give them experience with charitable giving.

Contribute before September 30th and help them win the Amazon challenge - which will go to the organization that earns the most... up to $1 million!
