Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I mentioned in an earlier post about how I was chosen to help for Donor’s Choose.org’s Bloggers Challenge. Well all in all we raised over a $1,300 and helped over 900 kids in their need for music supplies and more education.

Typepad mentioned about the results of this October’s Blogger’s Challenge, and Six Apart reported on it when it first happened, too. Basically, its a competition amongst bloggers to raise money within their communities for a good cause: help with classroom projects specified by public school teachers all around the country.

Last year’s winner, Sarah Bunting of Tomato Nation once again won this year after raising $111,352 and helping over 19,577 students. Six Apart made this cool video giving everybody involved a nice shout out:

Here’s a list of the winners in each category:

Tech Blog category, Fred Wilson’s AVC blog reached 4,545 students

Science Blog category, David Ng and Benjamin Cohen’s The World’s Fair blog reached 1,780 students

Topical/Local Blogs category, Ralph Alswang Photography reached 522 students

Mommy Blog and BlogHer category, Alice of Finslippy reached 1,676 students

Knitting Blogs category, Rose-Kim Knits reached 597 students

Black Bloggers for Education category, The Assimilated Negro reached 100 students

Sports Blog category, Sports Crackle Pop reached 465 kids

Thanks guys for all your support! It was for an awesome cause, and my thanks to Donors Choose too! glad we could help, and look forward to doing it again next year!
