Stephen Colbert Donates His Birthday To DonorsChoose.Org

VERY cool stuff!!!

Stephen Colbert has donated his birthday this year to DonorsChoose.org. This is an organization the Evil Beet is very involved with — you might recall the promotion we ran last fall where you, the Evil Beet readers, KICKED SOME ASS and donated a ton of money to fund educational projects in low-income school districts. I was passionate about it then and I still am. There is NO REASON why the children in ALL our schools shouldn’t have access to the materials that will help them learn. If the government won’t fork over the money, then it’s our responsibility as private citizens to ensure that all our children in all our schools have the best possible opportunity to learn. I donate to DonorsChoose regularly — even when I’m not running promotions here on Evil Beet — and I’d encourage you all to revisit the site (or visit it for the first time!) and consider finding a project you connect with and helping to fund it. Thank you, Mr. Colbert, for promoting such a phenomenal organization that makes a REAL DIFFERENCE in the lives of students.
