Help support an outstanding cause by donating to DonorsChoose.org's annual "Mustaches for Kids" fundraiser, where we subject ourselves to facial folly for four weeks to raise money for low-income classrooms.
You may be asking yourself: "What do mustaches have to do with raising money for classrooms in need?"...well, much like growing and grooming a successful mustache, these children need the necessary tools to maximize their educational "growth" potential so they can be "groomed" for a successful future! (and as an added benefit, your donations will give me the moral support I need to survive these next four weeks of facial grooming).
It's simple -- pick a classroom project from the list below, enter the amount you want to give, and click the green button (if you don't have time to pick a specific project, you can put your donation in the "Give Now" box at the top of this page and one will automatically be selected). We greatly appreciate your help, but most importantly the children in these classrooms appreciate your help more than you can imagine.
Wish me and my 'stache good luck!
