1:45 PM update
$101,650 — hang in there!
And I’ve got a $20 Barnes & Noble gift card for one lucky winner — just forward your receipt from any project on the leaderboard by midnight ET tonight and you’re eligible! May I recommend bullying prevention, a pencil sharpener, or some thesauri?
9 AM update
What a weekend: $101,455! Six figures — again! Extremely impressive, given the tax deadline looming and the weekend…well, weekending going on. Nice work.
I’ve got a couple of mini-prizes coming up today, but go ahead and donate anyway and I’ll add your receipt retroactively — just forward it by midnight ET. Any project on the leaderboard — browse them here, or go straight to some ping-pong!

Fire! Fire! We have 7 projects expiring within the next 7 days and we NEED YOUR HELP to save them. They range from $69 – $93. If multiple people help they can be done in no time! WE CAN DO IT! PLEASE SAVE THEM! We haven’t lost a project on this page yet!
HELP, OH PLEASE HELP!!!
I have 4 projects set to expire…..they can be finished, I know it…Please help, and remember for every finished project off of my giving page, each day $10 is donated to add to the TomatoNation total. Yesterday it was 5 X $10=$50 :)

Or maybe this one http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=561769&challengeid=155170 with $28 remaining. So close to another $10 donation for a fully funded project :)
A project from my hometown just got a match offer from Crate & Barrel, lowering the cost to just $98 for a project that costs over $950. The project helps students with special needs learn about gardening in a high poverty area. I really don’t want them to loose so much extra funding, but all of my money is tied up right now. I’m really hoping Tomato Nation can pull through for them!

Just donated to Charmaine’s second project-love the idea of kids learning to enjoy their house and making it fun! Everybody look at the page, please, they’ve got a ways to go!
I just received a letter from Ms. M. She has been donating all month, a teacher herself, who is closing on a house next week….but wants to help other teachers as well. She has a project with 28 days remaining. Thanks for all your support Ms. M http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=491782&challengeid=155170
@Michael, thank you so much for your support! Only half left, and much closer to helping these kids getting the supplies they need

@Vanessa, yeah, the gardening project is funded!!!
As is the $28 teacher tools project I posted about above!
@Jen S thanks for posting about the play house for the little ones, it does have a ways to go but I am confident it can make it http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=471139&challengeid=155170
Go Nation!!!
Oh-my-goodness! Thank you so much Tomato Nation! You certainly answered the call. Some very lucky kids in Fresno will be getting a whole new world of experiences with plants.
@Michael, RJ and Charmaine, thank you for making the people and places nearest and dearest to me better!
This Splat! middle school project teaching physics through super heroes is going to expire shortly. Please help it reach full funding!

This literacy project at Donorschoose is an “Almost Home” offer that only needs $74 to finish! It is for some really nice graphic novels and classroom library sets. Both corporate and individual donors have been very generous to my students by providing resources through Donorschoose projects.

Thanks for your consideration!
FIRE! FIRE! GP – GREAT JOB TODAY on funding projects. There are NINE projects on the page with LESS THAN $50 needed to fund them. Can we please rally the Tomato Nation to blow these out tonight and have them finished by 9 am!?!? I have seen you do great things…LET’S ROLL!
T-Nation Jeopardy GP – PROJECTS FLYING OFF THE PAGE! Check it out. There are many projects that just need a little more to get completed. BE A HERO TO A CHILD!
Thanks Sarah for mentioning my “pencil sharpener” project! :)
Let’s have some fun today! Any donation made to my Victory Garden Giving Page before midnight tonight ET (April 19th) enters you in a chance to win one of two $25 Olive Garden Gift Cards. Sarah will have the post up later today on her blog. See you in the Garden! http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=155807&category=241&max=25
You’re welcome, Vanessa! :)
Actually, I just realized I didn’t even read what I funded. I just saw “special needs students” and said, “That’s the one!”
Lovely project – so glad it’s going to happen!
