Edit: I originally reported a donor match that is apparently not happening. Very sorry about that, but I hope you’ll contribute anyway!
Edit2: Sorry for all the confusion. The match is apparently on and good for the rest of November (so, Tuesday and Wednesday).
Donations made to the Bay Area Urban Debate League today (Giving Tuesday) and tomorrow will be doubled! As an added #nitcast bonus, Razoo is not charging any fees for donations made on Giving Tuesday (November 29). Click here to donate now!
The Bay Area Urban Debate League is a non-profit organization with which I’m deeply involved, as a volunteer, a Board member, and a donor myself. I’ve seen the great work that the organization does, and I’ve been impressed with the people doing it at all levels: the volunteers, the staff, and the Board of Directors.
More broadly, I can honestly say that debating in high school and college changed my life, and in the 16 years that I’ve been involved with the urban debate movement, I’ve seen it change the lives of hundreds of kids from disadvantaged backgrounds. If you enjoy listening to me talk about poker on the Thinking Poker Podcast or in my strategy videos, debate is the reason I can think as critically and analyze things as clearly as I can.
Please help me extend this opportunity to young people who stand to benefit tremendously from it. Of course donations are welcome any time, but if you have the opportunity, please donate now to double your donation!
I haven’t worked out the details yet, but I do intend to do another end-of-the-year campaign (with prizes!) like the one I did last year. I just wanted to get the word out now because I know a lot of people make their donations on Giving Tuesday. Any donations made now will count towards the end-of-the-year campaign and the accompanying prizes.
