The other day I received an email from a good friend and former teammate, Mark Wilcox, who is currently teaching science in Baltimore, MD.\u00a0 Mark just launched a fundraiser in which he will be growing a mustache to\u00a0 raise money for his school’s various classroom projects.\u00a0 Please take the time to read his letter and donate to this great cause.<\/p>\n
—————-<\/p>\n
Friends and Family,<\/p>\n
The time of year that I raise funds for classroom projects in a somewhat non-traditional way has arrived. That’s right, for the next four weeks, I will be subjecting myself to public humiliation and private doubt by growing what will no-doubt be a ridiculous looking mustache.\u00a0 I’ve named it Dr. Watson because my mustache-growing ability is unfortunately quite elementary.<\/p>\n
In order to justify this endeavor I need your support. I am asking you to ‘sponsor’ my mustache by making a contribution to DonorsChoose.org<\/a> for any amount you feel appropriate.\u00a0 It might be $1 or it might be $100 – no matter what, you’re giving to a great cause and every dollar pushes teachers and students to strive for higher achievement.<\/p>\n Your [tax deductible!] donation will go directly to local low-income classroom projects.\u00a0 I’ve chosen several projects posted by teachers who I know are putting forth huge amounts of effort and who will positively affect their students with just a little nudge from your wallet.\u00a0 You can visit my Giving Page, The Dr. Watson is a fantastic mustache Giving Page<\/a>, to make a donation.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mustaches for Kids depends on word-of-‘stache publicity, so if you can’t give at this time, please forward this email to anyone who might be interested in doing good and having fun.<\/p>\n With great sincerity and a healthy amount of shame,<\/p>\n Mark<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The other day I received an email from a good friend and former teammate, Mark Wilcox, who is currently teaching science in Baltimore, MD.\u00a0 Mark just launched a fundraiser in which he will be growing a mustache to\u00a0 raise money for his school’s various classroom projects.\u00a0 Please take the time to read his letter and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16,776],"tags":[1221,1222,1219,1220],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1773"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1773"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1773\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1776,"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1773\/revisions\/1776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thegoldensombrero.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
