Manchester schools benefit from DonorsChoose.org campaign

By
Dozens of projects submitted by Manchester teachers to a popular crowdfunding site for educational needs were fulfilled by one man yesterday in an amazing show of generosity. According to a notification emailed to teachers by DonorsChoose.org:

"Tim Ferriss completed your project in honor of #BestSchoolDay.
'I'm funding all classroom projects in Long Island, New Hampshire, and Sacramento because NY, NH, and CA are my three educational homes. If it weren't for incredible teachers and mentors in all three places, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'm thrilled to support the next generations of teachers, who are my heroes.'"

Tim Ferriss is an author who joined athletes, actors, founders, and philanthropists in a national surprise “flash funding” of DonorsChoose.org projects in communities across America.
