Dear friends,

I want my cheerleaders to have as many resources as possible, but sometimes I just can't get the funding I need. To address this issue, I turned to DonorsChoose.org.

Here's the scoop.  At this nonprofit website, public school teachers (like me!) submit projects for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become a reality when concerned individuals (like you!) choose projects to fund. Donors who complete project funding or give more than $100 receive photos and personal thank-you notes from the students they helped.  It's easy - and very rewarding.

The great news is that my project, "Save The Cheerleader..." Safety Cheer Mats Needed!, is now posted at DonorsChoose.org! Check it out at:

Take a look. Also, please consider supporting me and my cheerleaders by forwarding this message to others who may be interested in improving their safety.

Best regards,

Nicole Pumphrey
