On November 11, 2010, I started growing my first-ever mustache, a <a href="http://www.m4ksf.org">Mustache for Kids</a>. Specifically, kids in the classrooms of under-resourced Oakland public schools. Through my job at the non-profit <a href="http://www.oaklandschoolsfoundation.org">Oakland Schools Foundation</a>, I work with these schools to help them narrow the resources gap that widens with every state budget cut. This sure-to-be embarrassing mustache is my first attempt to support our schools by not shaving. I have started <a href="http://osfstache.tumblr.com">a blog</a> where I'll track my fundraising and my whiskers. <p> Please sponsor my mustache by supporting a classroom project from the list below. Thanks for supporting Oakland public schools! <i>DonorsChoose.org is a 501(c)3 charity. See below for approvals from Charity Navigator and the Better Business Bureau.</i> hide
