Hi gang, I wanted to let you know about a charitable opportunity I plan to take part in, and I hope you guys will join me. Phx-suns.net mainstay carey is a teacher at a public high school in New Orleans. As you may know, teachers are chronically underpaid and schools are often sorely in need of funding and supplies. Carey has an Amazon wish list where he is raising some money to buy supplies for his classroom and students for this fall, such as scientific calculators and organizers. If you have the means, would you consider helping buy supplies for these students?

Carey has made over 12,000 posts here on phx-suns.net (8th highest post count on the site!) including countless weekly threads full of interesting content, plus, he's a great guy and a longtime friend. Let's chip in to help him and his students! Here's the Amazon wish list link:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2 ... _lfu_nav_2

To purchase an item on the list, first Add the item to your cart, then view your cart to set the quantity if you want to buy more than 1; then as you're checking out, it'll ask you where to send the items, and choose "carey's Gift Registry Address".

(carey, if you need anything else for your classroom, please add to the list so we can help you out even more!)

Thanks so much all. People have been so kind in helping fund my class. The biggest need right now is replacing the calculators although I won't need them until we start trig in late fall. Still, I thought it best to put them on there now.

Great job, folks! We got all the calculators and organizers funded. Now there are 3 filing boxes left. I can take care of one of them later today, any other takers? Thanks to everyone who has helped out; great to see the community helping such a good cause.

I just took care of one. My wife is a third grade teacher, so I know firsthand how ridiculous it is to always have to pay out of pocket for teaching supplies. She is lucky to be in one of the wealthiest districts in the state of CT, so I can only begin to imagine how difficult it is for you. Happy to help out.

It's very cool to see how everybody stepped up and that phx-suns.net can have a positive impact outside of basketball.

Haha. I took the porsche off. I hope you're happy, Mori! I can't think of anything else to add. I really appreciate everyone for helping out. Between you guys and twitter I got everything I needed in like 3 days.

Great job! That helped fund one classroom in America. Only 84,000 schools to go.
