>> HEY!
HI, STEPHEN!
>> Stephen: HI, YVETTE NICOLE BROWN.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE WITH YOU.

YOU HAVE BEEN IN AND ON EVERYTHING.
"COMMUNITY," "THE ODD COUPLE," "THE OFFICE" "BOSTON LEGAL"
"THAT 70s SHOW" "ENTOURAGE" "CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM."
BUT I KNOW YOU FROM "DONORS CHOOSE."
>> DONORS CHOOSE, THIS AMAZING CHARITY WE'RE BOTH ON THE BOARD
FOR-- ( APPLAUSE )
-- HEY, DONOR CHOOSE.
>> Stephen: PEOPLE AT HOME-- TELL THE PEOPLE HOW IT WORKS.
>> DONORS CHOOSE IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION WHERE TEACHERS WHO
ARE IN NEED, NEED CRAYONS OR BOOKS FOR THEIR STUDENTS SAY,
"CAN YOU GIVE ME $5 FOR THIS OR $2."
IT'S CALLED DONORS CHOOSE BECAUSE WE ARE THE DONORS AND WE
GET TO CHOOSE.
>> Stephen: ANY CLASSROOM, ANY SCHOOL SYSTEM IN THE UNITED
STATES.
>> ANY AMOUNT, ANY AMOUNT.
>> Stephen: INCREDIBLE.
>> IT'S KIND OF A LOVE LETTER TO TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AND WE
BOTH HAVE A HEART FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.
>> Stephen: AND THE BEST PART IS YOU ACTUALLY GET A LETTER
BACK FROM THE STUDENTS WHO RECEIVED--
>> YOU GET THANK YOU NOTES.
>> Stephen: WHO RECEIVED THE DONATIONS OR THE BOOKS OR THE
CRAYONS.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE?
>> MY FAVORITE IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST CLASSROOM I FUNDED.
THEY JUST WANTED-- THE TEACHER JUST WANTED A 64 BOX OF CRAYONS
FOR EACH OF HER STUDENTS.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY IN HERE GREW UP POOR, BUT IF YOU GREW UP
FOUR, THAT 64-BOX OF CRAYONS WITH ITS SHARPENER, YOU HAVE
MADE IT.
WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT THESE BEARS, THE IDEA OF THEM EACH
HAVING THEIR OWN BOX, I WAS LIKE, "THIS IS THE ONE.
THIS IS THE ONE I WANT TO FUND FIRST."
AND THEN I GOT ALL MY THANK YOU NOTES IN CRAYONS.
"DEAR MISS BROWN, THANK YOU."
