The past three weeks I’ve been doing something a little out of the ordinary… I’ve been growing a ‘stache. Over the past week it finally moved from the creepy stache phase into something a little more respectable (thank goodness… I was getting weird looks on the street.) Many people have asked me, “so what’s the deal with the ‘stache man?” To which I get to tell people about an amazing organization called Donor’s Choose. Donor’s Choose is an organization that utilizes the concept of micro-finance to help fund teachers and education around the country, especially in the most underfunded areas of Music and Art.
The past three weeks I’ve attempted to raise some awareness as well as get some people to fund some projects around Northern California and the Bay Area through My Giving Page, which has an up to date picture of me sporting my amazing stache.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to raise much of what I’d like to help these teachers and students and the 4 weeks are almost up (ends on Tuesday.) So, I thought I’d throw out a little challenge… I hate my mustache… it’s itchy, weird looking, and it’s starting to become a food-trap… in short, I want to shave it off and am very much looking forward to Tuesday’s shave! However, if between now and Saturday my giving page sees an increase of $200 and we’re able to make a difference in the lives of 200+ more students I’ll keep my ‘stache and sport that sucker at the Old Navy Christmas Party in front of all of Tracy’s co-workers (December 17th)… embarrassing? Yes… but more for me than her for sure!
So, I leave this in your hands. You decide when the ‘stache goes… sooner or later!

I’m glad to see you’ve finally been granted the wonderful blessing of facial hair. I remember the years when you couldn’t even grow a mustache and now you’re able to have one for the benefit of others!
