Save The Day: April 12
4:30 PM update, with snoozing visual aids Mabel (L) and “Little” Joe (R)
$83,738! And my tax refund arrived in the mail today, so in addition to giving away shirts (explained below), I’d also like to throw in one of these lazy and annoying felines $25 to one winner’s project of choice from anywhere on the leaderboard! Just make a donation to a project on the Superpage, and you could win!
Your total so far is truly impressive and amazing — but if it’s Mabel-sized right now, let’s fatten it up to Joe size! Give that leaderboard some kibble! This metaphor doesn’t work at all but I committed to it so fuck it! Cats! Money! Okay!
11:45 AM update
$82,558. Keep at it; I know you’ve got hitting 85 in you. Out of money ’til payday? Put it on blast on social media.
I’m in the field ’til happy hour; try not to break DonorsChoose.org while I’m out. Heh.
9:30 AM update
$82,470! Pretty impressive haul! Great job by Ann D. and her pages yesterday, and all of you who helped out.
But…we’ve got 167K left to raise. If you haven’t posted a link to the Superpage on Facebook yet, please do that today. Hit up your grandparents. Guilt a co-worker. “Heroism: The Telephone Game” — let’s get it done.
Any donation to the Superpage today is eligible for a Save The Day shirt, with more mini-prizing to come in the afternoon. Fund a band! Help kids tie-dye! Bring Mexico to Jersey City! Or sift and sort all the Red Planet projects to find one that speaks to you.

You Say To-ma-to, I Say Tom-ah-to has 18 projects with less than $100 to be funded….http://tomatohelper.wordpress.com/ The list is here, go read about it!!!
I added some projects to my giving page today (http://tinyurl.com/Physical-Activity-is-Fun) but I don’t remember/can’t find how to pass that information on to Amanda for the sortable spreadsheet. Sars, if you could remind us (me) or post it in the FAQ that would be awesome.
FIRE! FIRE! We just had a teacher’s project in TX make our page that will EXPIRE in 6 hours. Rally Tomato Nation donors and save it! $75 total will do the trick. FIRE! FIRE!
I have gotten some donations since this contest has started but they have gone through my website http://www.donorschoose.org/mr.mank.(at least $100) Do they count towards the total or do I have to tell you about it?
Thanks
Paul
@MH: I think Amanda updates those automatically each evening. I’ll inquire.
@Paul: If your projects are on any Giving Page within the Tomato Nation leaderboard, it counts towards our total.
FIRE! FIRE! Giving Page BLOWOUT SALE: There are 12 projects, ranging from $25-$51 to complete with their DAYS NUMBERED. We have MANY projects expected to expire in the coming days. Stop by and help out if you can. SAVE THEM! Thank you!
