The Donors Choose AVC Meetup

One hundred forty seven people have donated to the Donors Choose campaign we are running this month here at AVC. That's incredible to see. With five days left, we are on pace to raise $20,000 from about 175 people. Here is how we've done in prior years.

So this is likely to be our biggest year ever and that's before the HP Match which will double the amount we raise for classrooms where young woman learn science and math.

As many of you know, we are going to have a meetup to celebrate this campaign. It will be on December 8th at 6pm at Washington Irving High School right off Union Square in NYC. The meetup is open to anyone who gives to the AVC Donors Choose campaign.

Here's the Meetup.com page for the event on December 8th. Please go RSVP if you plan to attend. We will have the list of all the donors at the event so you need to be on that list in addition to RSVP'ing.

I hope to see you there.

          1. Dave Pinsen

            Seems more like assonance than alliteration.

    To increase the number of girls into math and science, have to connect with the girls who shop HERE:https://twitter.com/terezan…

      …and their moms. I could say “parents” but I believe that at an early age a girl’s mom has the strongest influence on how she envisions herself. Never a “math and science” girl myself (although I related very well to those girls — and boys — who were), I’m seeing some promise in my daughter relating to science. If not for my heightened awareness from AVC I may not have begun to affirm her in this direction — not PUSH her mind you, but to help her to “own” this interest/strength.Anyway, when I saw that photo — I thought, “I am the mom of one of those girls.” I am still– for just a little while longer — her strongest influence.

    This is fantastic news! Very fitting for this Thanksgiving weekend. I’d much rather be in NYC than South Dakota on the 8th! P.S. Happy Thanksgiving, all!

    Wish I could make it! Minnesota in December is, uh, beautiful?Santa just picked up my daughters gift – here’s the email she sent to me:—Hey! So this would be PERFECT:http://www.microscope.com/b…This would make the BEST present for the next birthday or Christmas or every present opportunity EVER. Any Light Microscope that has magnification of 4x, 10x, and 40x. And includes slides. —All it takes is a little encouragement…
