Baseball

“I wrote 63 songs this year. They’re all about Jeter.” Just kidding. The game we love, the players we hate, and more.

From Norman Mailer to Wendy Pepper — everything on film, TV, books, music, and snacks (shut up, raisins), plus the Girls’ Bike Club.

Donors Choose and Contests

Helping public schools, winning prizes, sending a crazy lady in a tomato costume out in public.

Stories, True and Otherwise

Monologues, travelogues, fiction, and fart humor. And hens. Don’t forget the hens.

Contest: Drink and be merry

Submitted by on October 12, 2009 – 9:28 AM6 Comments

As of this writing: $53,868. Way to keep going while I took a day off!

It’s not long until we hit 60K; I know it’s a holiday Monday, but let’s continue to apply the pressure.   Today’s challenge: “Baby It’s Cold Outside!!!” Please give Chicago schoolchildren the gift of ping-pong — and if you forward me your receipts by 11:59 PM ET tonight, I will keep you warm with one of two (2) $10 gift certificates to 800wine.com!

And remember: at 60K, we qualify for another match.   No rest for the awesome, guys.   Let’s go.

    A donation is on the way and I have also shared it on twitter and FB….Lets gets some ping pong tables!!!

  • Christy says:

    I donated to 2 projects on Friday and when I logged in today, I had emails waiting for me that both have already been fully funded! Brightened my monday morning RIGHT UP.

  • Nicole says:

    I love that we fund these projects that are expiring soon and need lots of money. Many of these teachers had probably given up on getting funded since they’ve been sitting there with no donations for months. And then we come along!

  • Jackie says:

    Donate to the ping pong tables — done. Forward receipt in hopes of free wine — done. Set up my spanking new automatic monthly donation to DonorsChoose — done. Feeling mighty accomplished this morning.

  • charmaine says:

    Jackie, very accomplished. What a great way to start the day!

  • Emma says:

    Aw, I actually donated to this one early this morning, but then I haven’t checked the website since I was working and I didn’t get a chance to forward my receipt for the mini-price. I guess that means I’ll just *have* to donate to something else. How fortuitous.
