I'm a father of two amazing daughters, one a six year old in first grade and one almost a year in day care. So much of what I do (work two jobs, about 70 hours a week) is for them to have a better life than the one I had which was pretty great too.
My oldest, Rebecca, is gathering pledges for a run she and her school mates are doing. She plays soccer and boy is she fast! Obviously I'm her biggest fan.
If anyone feels like helping a school to provide more supplies to its children, please fee free to donate. Hell, it doesn't have to be per lap. Even a tiny donation helps the school.
Part is me gets annoyed that even after the high taxes I pay, the money I paid before school started to help the teachers with supplies, and the supplies I have to buy for my daughter and for the ones I have bought for the teacher, the school still has to do these fund raisers. Oh well. Education is one hell of a good cause I say. I donate to so many causes, I said what the hell, maybe some pinsiders with a few extra bucks wouldn't mind helping. If not, no biggy.
If nothing else, just click the link and enjoy the cute YouTube video. They personalized each one with each child's photo.
Thanks!
