UPDATE: You guys are fantastic! We've made it way over our goal of $2000, but don't let that stop you. The money goes to a great cause, so let's see how high we can raise the bar. More importantly, please note that the Hine project is FULL. You can still join our team to raise donations, but you'll have to pick another project and just meet us at the after-volunteer party at Buffalo Billards. Luckily for you, there are a whole slew of things to choose from. Thank you to everyone who's participated! more ›

We know that despite the grumbling, despite the lack of voting rights, despite the indie rock neighborhood battles to the death, even despite the fashion sense or lack thereof, you guys love this town just as much as we do. That's why this year we're starting our own team for the Greater Washington Servathon 2007, the massive, annual volunteer event presented by Greater DC Cares and AOL. In addition to volunteering our time on either May 4 or 5, each participant is asked to raise just $100 by asking friends and family to donate to the cause. All the money, including your registration fee of $20 (which goes towards your $100) goes to help local nonprofit agencies run throughout the year. This year, Servathon hopes to raise $400,000 and provide 11,000 volunteer hours fixing up the community. more ›
