Savage Minds Challenge Reminder

I’d like to remind everyone about the three programs we are trying to fund on our Savage Minds Challenge:

• $499 more will buy five “Social Studies Resource Boxes” for students at a rural elementary school.
• The West Harlem Book Club still needs $632 to buy disadvantaged kids some books.
• And $1,568 is needed to fully fund a video production club at a public vocational high school in Manhattan.

If these programs don’t get fully funded you will get an option to redirect your money to another program. You can also choose to direct your donation to just one program, or distribute it between all three.
