Want to Get Involved?

So, the IGNITE CHANGE essay contest has been a lot of work, and I'm looking forward to actually beginning to see some of the essays and experiencing the whole this-is-why-i'm-doing-this feeling, but right now I'm kind of disheartened because unfortunately, the Big Prize that I was hoping to lock down for the winner didn't pan out.

As of now, I'm personally donating some money from *cough*somethingthatican'tblogaboutyet*cough* for the winner, and we've got smaller prizes for all the finalists, but I really wanted something writerly, something that would reward a young woman for her commitment to writing and changing the world through the written word.  Something that furthers her education, as a writer or in general.

Basically, I need help.  And I also KNOW there are organizations out there that I haven't thought of yet that want to reach out to the young women of Boston and celebrate them as scholars and writers as well.  If you know an organization that might be interested in the contest (which I first blogged about HERE), shoot me an email at acgaughen@gmail.com.  I would REALLY appreciate it.

And in the mean time: nose, meet grindstone.
