About Me

My boss, Josh Biber, just celebrated his 30th birthday and is getting married in June. In order to recognize his impact on TFA and Greater Boston, we seek to raise $5,000 to sponsor a teacher in his honor - as a bonus, when we reach $5,000 it will be matched by an anonymous national donor!

The Time is Now

Josh has an incredible 30 days ahead of him.  His 30th birthday is today (May 9th) and in 30 days (June 9th) he will marry the lovely Ms. Merry Boak.  Join us in celebrating not only Josh's birthday, but also his upcoming nuptuals by raising $5,000 for Josh to sponsor an incoming 2012 corps member.

Because Josh and Merry, both having been fierce Recruitment Directors, love nothing more than bringing more incredible teachers to our movement, we are launching a campaign in their honor to Sponsor an Incoming Corps Member! For everyone who contributes to this campaign, we will be adding your name and comments to a framed sign that we will hang in Josh’s office.  We will share this with Josh and Merry on their wedding day!
