Mustaches for Poetry? Yes!
Filed Under contest, Poegles | Leave a Comment
Poeglers,
One of the esteemed founders of Poegles.com has decided to use this platform of poegling enthusiasts to support a good cause. Mustaches 4 Kids, a charity, has teamed with DonorsChoose.org to help raise $1,000,000 for classrooms around the country by challenging men to find sponsorship to grow their mustaches. I’ll be supporting four projects of a literary nature that will bring poetry into the lives of needy kids. I hope to raise $1,577 to support these efforts:
-
An ‘oral history’ recording project for 20 incredibly inquisitive fourth-graders in a public South Bronx school.
-
A project to purchase children’s poetry books for kids in a public elementary school in Winston-Salem, NC.
-
Creating a ‘poetry library’ for 21 inner-city second graders in Washington, D.C.
-
Creating a ‘poetry library’ for a special needs class in Ohio.
You’ll note on the side bar here at www.poegles.com we have added a widget to track my progress. You can visit my page to contribute, should you so choose. If you feel up to growing a mustache, please join us in this endeavour!
