Goin’ All The Way, Day 5: Balloons ‘n’ Streamers

Well, well, well. The TN Prom Committee has good news and bad news. The good news is, y’all have raised over eleven thousand dollars, helped almost ten thousand children, AND COMPLETED EIGHTY-NINE PROJECTS. Wow. You’re the best!

The bad news is, that gym ain’t gonna decorate itself, noam sayin’. Someone gotta get up on a ladder and crepe that backboard. So, let’s do that! Louisiana needs art supplies; so does California; Frisco could use some help with their handwriting (so we can put them on banner patrol) (yes, I know nobody calls it “Frisco”); Chicago needs construction paper; and I really must insist that we buy Mrs. Laut rubber chickens. No romantic evening of your youth was complete without a…um, as Cezanne once noted, “Le poulet“…er…fine, it has nothing to do with prom, or art. WHO CARES. Rubber chickens! Hee-larious!

Donate to any of these projects, OR any OTHER project on the Goin’ All The Way page, and forward me your receipt to bunting at tomatonation dot com. That puts you in line for general prizes (read about ’em here!) or daily prizes. What’s hot today?

Gift certificates! I’ve got 4 at $25 each: Utrecht art supplies, or a Donors Choose gift card, your choice!

Donate here. Forward receipts. Got no money? Put it on blast on social media — Facebook, Twitter, the four other people with a G+ account, whomever you can tell. Thanks! You guys are great. Eighty-nine projects! Great work.

    What of it! What of my hen!!!

  • Kate says:

    But can we dress the rubber chickens up in little poultry prom clothes?

  • Elsajeni says:

    No, the rubber chickens are legit, because: at my school’s official afterprom party, which was a “casino night” theme, I met a young man carrying a rubber chicken that he said gave him luck, and he WAS in fact winning like crazy at the roulette table.

    I want those kids to get that playground so bad! $17k to go…
