Adopt a Classroom - Vote!

Adopt-A-Classroom (www.adoptaclassroom.org) has been selected by American Express to potentially win a donation of to $5 million. More than 7,000 projects were submitted, and Adopt-a-Classroom has made the Top 25. Would you please do me and the charity a favour, and take a couple of minutes to vote for her charity on the American Express Members Project website? It's at: http://www.membersproject.com/Education/183

The current round of voting would put them in the final 5. (If you voted once, you need to vote again for each new round of voting).
Adopt-a-Classroom raises money for public school teachers so they can buy desperately-needed supplies for their classrooms. The idea is pretty simple. Here in the richest country in the world, public school teachers spend on average over $1,200 a year of their own money on supplies and resources for their classrooms.
We all know that these folks are underpaid and many simply can't afford this. Adopt-a-Classroom allows donors to donate money to specific classrooms across the US and help bridge that gap. Adopt-A-Classroom raises money for underprivileged classrooms so that all children can have equal access to a quality education.
Here's how to do it:

1. You must be an American Express cardholder. Have your card handy.
2. Go to http://www.membersproject.com/Education/183
3. Click on “Vote for this Project” in the upper left
4. If you have logged on before, it will ask for your Login ID or
Password. If you have not logged on before, it will ask for you
American Express card number and ask you to register.

There is no donation required. Voting ends July 22!

If you would forward this email on, that would be doubly cool.

Thanks very much!
