Mustaches for Kids 2007 continues apace, ladies and gentlemen Scannerites, and let me just say that as the final week of this grueling challenge winds to a close, I'm fairly certain that growing out my facial hair for charity may have been the most challenging, most rewarding, most important thing I've ever done with my life. Over the past few weeks, through Mustaches for Kids, I've met some great people, shared some wonderful stories. I've raised some cash for M4K NYC, DonorsChoose.org, and the projects that they're supporting this year. I've loved and lost and loved again. Once I even sailed to the moon, killed a rabid moonbear in the frigid lunar night with nothing but my mustache and some freeze-dried spaghetti, and then returned to Earth in time for dessert -- and more loving.
But now, it's time for you to do something!
If you've already pledged, thanks, but if you haven't: there's still time. The big 'Stache Bash is this Saturday, so you've only got three more days to support both my sweet sweet 'stache and kids in New York City schools. I promise, if you make a pledge today, you will not only feel a warmth in your heart knowing that you've done some good for kids this holiday season, but also a deep sense of pride from supporting the growth of manly mustaches everywhere.
If you're interested in making a pledge, I'm now growing my 'stache for the Condusive Learning Environment in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, as the previous project I was growing for is now totally funded! (Hooray!) You can give money to this project in my name by going to DonorsChoose.org or by clicking the "Project" link on my "MyStache" profile page, where you can track the progress my upper lip has made over the last few weeks. (Be sure to indicate that you are gifting "in someone else's name" in the Acknowledgement section, and include my name when you fill out your information.)
Thanks!
