Education is the Key for the Future

Regular readers of Cutie Booty Cakes know that I am really committed to making a difference and I challenge my readers to do the same. If you are a new reader check my posts here and here for examples of this. Today I want to tell you about a cause that I believe in. And you all can participate. Donor Choose.org is having a fundraising drive for public school education. For the month of October bloggers are encouraging their readers to donate to schools that are in need.

The uniqueness of this program lies in the ability for me or any other blogger participating to choose the schools that we want our donations to help. Each school/teacher submits a proposal outlining the need and the amount of funds required. I chose 3 elementary schools in metropolitan Atlanta that are in areas with the highest poverty rate. I also chose 3 different subject areas - science, math and english.

If you click on the banner above or widget on the left where it says "GA Public Schools" you will be taken directly to my fundraising page. I am pledging to raise $1000 and I would really like your help! There are other large well -established blogs doing this challenge in the "Mommy Blogger" category but it is my hope that We can make a difference here.

Please read the stories on the donation page and contribute whatever you can. Every dollar counts! Your donation is tax-deductible. Children are not asked to be born in poverty with poor access to the educational tools they need to get ahead. Please consider making a contribution to assist them in meeting their educational goals!

Remember when I asked you to Do Something? Here is your opportunity. Please help me raise $1000 this month for the students most in need.

I love that you are always on the look out for ways to help others. I love that you use your blogging to influence others in this way.

Thanks for giving me something to think about. I will review this with T-Daddy and get back to you.

I am a big fan of Donors Choose. During my 2nd year teaching I had two projects funded through the program and it made a hell of a difference in my classroom.

Two year ago, I joined the BlogAThon (24 hours of blogging) to raise money for Donors Choose. It is a great organization.

Keep up the good work.
