Do some good & get a free copy of Switch!

If you love Teach For America then you’ll love this offer: Donate $20 to TFA and we’ll ship you a free copy of Switch. The free book is our way of thanking you for supporting an organization that has spurred so much positive change in the school system. (BTW, the money goes directly to TFA and you will be able to claim the charitable tax deduction for whatever you donate.)

Only two disclaimers: 1. We can’t ship outside the U.S. (Sorry about that. We’re funding this out of pocket and it just gets too expensive.)  2. You know the old song — “supplies are limited, so act fast.” (But rest assured that if we run out of free books we’ll warn you on the donation page.)

Give TFA a boost today! [Promotion ends at 5pm Eastern on Tuesday 3/16] [UPDATE: This promotion has now closed. Thanks to you, we raised $8,080 for TFA!]
