Goin’ All The Way, Day 4: Corsage and Boutonnière

Welcome back, kids! As of this writing, almost 7K raised, almost 8K students helped, and 64 projects completed! 64! That’s amazing. 

Even more amazing: today is one of two match days! The TN/DC prom committee is matching your donations dollar for dollar, up to $500 — so $5 gets you $10, $10 gets you $20, and hey, if you want to donate $500, I sure ain’t discouraging you, especially since that five hundo will get you a cool one thousand if you donate today (through midnight Hawaii time).

The match code is easy: PROM. You enter it at checkout; any questions or trouble finding the code, let me know!

Today’s theme: the flowers! Not that anyone really cared about the corsage, if I recall correctly; its primary function was to get pressed in a heavy book later. But it makes for some fun projects, like a cool GrowLab garden; a playground that needs sod and flowers, instead of dirt and broken glass; and dictionaries to press them in.

You know the deal: donate to these projects, or any others on the TN Prom giving page; forward your receipts to tomatonation dot com; and you’re eligible for daily AND overall prizing.

And today’s prizing is:

a $25 Home Depot gift card (for all your gardening supplies) (or paint, I’m not the boss of you)
a $25 Donors Choose gift code

You donate here; you forward those receipts to tomatonation dot com so you can win stuff; you help kids. Double your pleasure, Nation, it’s PROM match day!

    I love match days!

    Also, when checking out I discovered that I can do so through amazon.com, which means I can use my amazon VISA points or a gift card.
