I think that, should you fail to make the full million dollars, the schools listed here will be happy to receive the funds. I'm a little concerned about your desire to let the schools decide to do with the funds, however-- I can see why you'd want them to have autonomy, but I've heard lots of recent stories from teachers about well-meaning donations going astray--pocketed by the School Board or used by principals for personal needs, not teacher/student needs. Do you think you need some controls over how the funds are spent? Thanks for adding a FAQ to the page.

But it's my fault. The dollar amounts listed are for donations received. They are not prices. I've updated the page so that should be clear now. Sorry for the confusion. As far as pricing goes, that's entirely at the discretion of the giver. You can donate any amount you like. Sophmom: Yes, you’re missing something! But it’s my fault.

I recommend you chill O'Douls or Kaliber for several hours before serving, although they make a great warm dip for chips if you leave it out in the soon.

That just seems so wrong - what's wrong with drinking freely in moderation?
