We’re fundraising $40k to ensure that the real humans providing that advice can access health care. 99 donors brought us to $6,100 overnight and when we hit $10k, we will receive an anonymous matching gift. Donate here! www.classy.org/campaign/scarl...

Donated, because if I could direct my tax dollars to orgs like Scarleteen, I would. 💓

Scarleteen began when young people started writing to Heather asking for advice with sex and relationships, and that one-on-one, personally tailored advice is still at the core of what we do. Advice columns are some of our most popular content.

Okay evening crowd: We’re up to $5,444 out of $40,000 for healthcare benefits for the health educators at Scarleteen. Can you help us get to $6,000 tonight? 💓 www.classy.org/campaign/sca...

Y'all I have to be insufferable about fundraising for @scarleteen.com because the work we are doing is too important! We're establishing a $40k fund to help with health care expenses for staff and volunteers, and a dollar-for-dollar match kicks in at $10k! www.classy.org/fundraiser/6...

Most of y'all know I volunteered for Scarleteen for a decade(!) & I'm more proud of that work than anything else I've done. I can point to so many moments that I KNOW made a huge difference in a young person's life. ST staff & volunteers work hard and do so much good; let's help get them healthcare!

I'm raising funds to support Scarleteen and y'all got me to my initial $1,000 goal so quickly that I want to push for $1,500! Thanks to a donor matching overall donations up to $10,000 if we GET to $10,000, your dollars will count twice if you help us reach our goal. www.classy.org/fundraiser/6...

Scarleteen is the resource I wish I had when I was a tween/teen. They have been providing judgement free, comprehensive sex education for free for decades and they can't do that without support. Please consider donating to them to help the keep doing what they do best.

I grew up in a conservative Christian town and had no access to real sexual health care or information growing up. Scarleteen provides such a necessary service for teens who are like me. Sharing this post to support them is FREE and goes a long way to helping them reach their fundraising goal.

@scarleteen.com does great work and you can *triple* your donation to them via this link!!

I'm supporting @scarleteen.com's $40,000 fundraiser for health benefits for staff and volunteers! Sex ed notoriously doesn't pay well, and this fund will make a huge difference in people's lives. The first $1,000 I personally raise will be matched. Today would be a great day to hit that goal!

An anonymous donor just offered to match up to $1,000 to my fundraiser in support of health benefits for @scarleteen.com's staff and an as-needed health fund for volunteers, which means your $1 is worth $2! Anyone want to join in with ANOTHER match to turn that into $3?
