Maybe you were too busy packing for the long weekend to donate yet today? Fear not; it’s not too late! Put down that beach towel you’re rolling for one quick sec and donate to the PASS Practice project, because I’ll donate the last $100 if you can get it close!

Also, you could win a $25 Old Navy gift card compliments of a very generous anonymous donor if you donate today! Thanks, VGAD! That acronym sounds kind of gross, but you’re not gross — you’re awesome!

Forward those receipts, vacationers!

Morning, everyone! Sorry about the semi-tardy changeover to the Columbia projects, but it’s all ready to go now.

We may have a match code later today; we will definitely have prizes. And if you can get this project to within $100, I will finish it. State standardized testing is not all that glamorous, but the kids need help with it, and it’s going to expire in a month.

As usual, forward your receipts to bunting at tomatonation dot com; ANY project you donate to today will make you eligible for today’s prizing, which I will announce in a few hours. You’re doing super work so far!

You have to love a place that considers a cafeteria postcard-worthy. (NB: My hometown’s postcard selection consists of…the hospital.)

Let’s finish the week strong with the Columbia, SC leg of the race — you’ll find family game times; snap circuits that help with engineering concepts; bass recorders; and e-readers.

Prizing to come later this morning. In the meantime, I hand it over to the night watch. Fantastic work so far, team. I’m as pleased and proud as always, which is to say very.

    The Columbia link leads to yesterday’s Camden page, though the individual links work.

    Are there any matching codes today?

  • Dsayko says:

    Fyi, it’s 6:30 am Central time and I’m still seeing the Camden page.

  • Sarah D. Bunting says:

    Hmm. Try refreshing/clearing your cache? Columbia’s showing up for me.

    No matching codes today — just love — but! We may have some money left on the JERSEY match that we could apply. I will inquire. Thanks for your patience, as always!

    I live in a country where the weekend is Fri/Sat and don’t have internet at home yet. Luckily Columbia was still there today for my donations!
