Help Us Help Local Schools

Why let Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Bill Walker and the Celtics have all the fun?  Here's a chance to give to some school kids in Massachusetts.  I'll let Tom Ziller explain: SB Nation as a whole as entered the DonorsChoose.org Social Media Challenge, in which SBN competes against various other networks in a fundraising effort for schools around the nation. Bragging rights are at stake, but more importantly, it's a concerted effort to help teachers and schools get the things they need for kids in less than fortunate situations. Teachers submit funding proposals, DonorsChoose vets them, and donors make the requests happen. There is a corporate element, and some foundations (including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) are involved in matching donations on some projects. See the CelticsBlog giving page here.
