We did it my friends and family!
In four unforgettable weeks of a philanthropic mustache misadventure, we raised $5,800 dollars... through 84 donors... fully funding 12 classroom requests ... and reaching 492 kids at an elementary school in Oakland. Thanks to you I was able to raise the second highest amount of money among almost 100 growers in San Francisco.
I talked this week to David Silver, the Principal of that amazing school Think College Now (http://www.thinkcollegenow.org/), and he excitedly explained how the supplies will be arriving in the classrooms by early January.
Our entire San Francisco team raised over $79K-- edging out the perennial powerhouse NYC Chapter. Combining the work of all city chapters across our fair country, 1,389 brave men raised over $300K for Mustaches for kids.
For those who donated, thank you very much. Your contribution helps get real books and supplies to kids by January. For those who didn't contribute, there's always next year!
Check out a great video of a local news story on the event. Captures perfectly this wacky little fundraiser... http://vimeo.com/2577556
