Anyone remember the episode of Seinfeld, where George decides to embrace Festivus?
GEORGE: (Reading the card from Whatley) “This holiday season a donation has been made in your name to the Children’s Alliance.”?
JERRY: Oh, that’s nice.
GEORGE: I got him Yankee’s tickets! He got me a piece of paper saying “I’ve given your gift to someone else!”
JERRY: To a children’s charity!
GEORGE: Don’t you see how wrong that is?! Where’s your Christmas spirit? And eye for an eye!
Well, our yearly Google gift came today. They sent a USB card with 2 gigabytes of storage (pretty cool) but along with it, they sent this letter:
Thank you for your partnership with Google this year. To show our appreciation, Google would like you to support a public school classroom of your choosing through DonorsChoose.org
DonorsChoose.org is a non-profit organization where you can choose a classroom project to bring to life - a reading corner, a field trip, a computer lab, or whatever inspires you.
When you redeem the enclosed gift card, you will give books, art supplies, technology, or other resources to students in low-income communities.
Thank you for taking the time to help us give back.
As I said in my previous post, I gave to a charity this year (and do every year these days) as well and I think this is a great idea. I just think it’s funny how life imitates Seinfeld in this situation.
