Team DCist came out in force for Saturday’s 2008 Servathon, presented by Greater DC Cares and Fannie Mae. About 3,200 volunteers spent the day painting, cleaning and pruning the campuses of 39 D.C. public schools. Team DCist was dispatched to Harriet Tubman Elementary in Columbia Heights, and we all had a blast sprucing up the courtyard, repainting the playground, and brightening up some dull brown lockers in classrooms. Thanks to everyone who participated, especially our top fund raisers: Jeffrey Young ($535), Elena Tsougranis ($240), Kathryn Warnes ($230), and our own Kelly Rand ($220). All told Team DCist pulled in $3,350 that will go to support all the great work that Greater DC Cares does all year long. Way to go, everyone!
