One of my favorite bloggers is trying to raise $50,000 in 50 days for her 50th birthday for WriteGirl.
WriteGirl is a nonprofit organization for high school girls centered on the craft of creative writing and empowerment through self-expression. Through one-on-one mentoring and monthly workshops, girls are given techniques, insights and hot tips for great writing in all genres from professional women writers.
Since I'm not rolling in the money just quite yet, I thought I'd help a girl out and help promote her worthy effort. So, if you're feeling generous, click on the pic in the sidebar and give as little as $5! And you get prizes! And if she raises the money, she's gonna shave her head. Love her chutzpah! (Oh, by the way, that's pronounced "hoot-spa," not "choot-spa" the way some people [can you say Michelle Bachmann?] think it's pronounced!) So if you like girls, writing, prizes and feeling good, give some moolah to this cause!
