Lizzie O’Leary and I share a birthday this coming Thursday, and to distract us from any complaining we might be tempted to do, we’re donating it to DonorsChoose:
Rachel Sklar & Lizzie O’Leary share a birthday - December 8th! - and the hope that you will contribute to our fantabulous tri-city Beltway To The Big Apple to the Bayou Birthday Fundraiser! We’re supporting great and worthy classroom projects in our home cities of NY and DC, and in New Orleans, where we met (aw!). Please support these deserving projects and needy kids. And then tell all your Twitter followers to do it, too! Our goal is to raise $5,000. So don’t cheap out.
p.s. People who give over $100 get a funny shout-out on Twitter, so watch @rachelsklar and @lizzieohreally for lavish and hilarious praise.
Lizzie and I met in New Orleans on the 5th anniversary of Katrina (see my interview with her about it here), and she has become one of my bestest friends. We were delighted to learn that we share a birthday, and I am totally as young as her, too.
BTW, DonorsChoose is innately a ratio-changing organization. Please ping us if there is a project you’d like to suggest we add.
