With the Joy Machine powered down over these next couple weeks, we thought it would be good to update all of you in the Hubsterdom on CNH’s charitable initiative, The Colbert News Hub’s Giving Page.
Since the Giving Page’s launch in October, with the support of 12 Hubster donors we have raised $976, and helped 462 children. We have completed projects that have provided kids in South Carolina with books to help their math fluency, beautiful new violins for homeless students, music stands for a school without a music budget, and books to help children appreciate ancient civilizations. Our many thanks to the Hubsters, many of whom immediately pledged money to help fund these projects.

We here at Colbert News Hub wanted to do something special to mark ‘The Colbert Report’s’ 6th Year Anniversary. We wanted our gift to be something that both Stephen and the Report staff would all appreciate, especially after all the hard work and effort they put into making an amazing show each night.
After a bit of thinking, we decided upon starting our very own Colbert News Hubs DonorsChoose Giving Page.
Our aim with the ‘giving page’ is to focus on schools in Stephen’s home state of South Carolina. After seeing how much Stephen loves his hometown from the ‘Conde Nast Traveler Awards’, and how much it has influence him, we want all children in South Carolina to grow up as happy as Stephen, and have the same access to great educational materials and resources.
With over 50 projects listed for schools in South Carolina, we have narrowed it down to two that we would first like to complete:
To start the ball rolling Colbert News Hub has made a $250 donation to the ‘Reading for Success in Maths’ project, and have already received a wonderful ‘thank you’ email from the teacher Ms. Wilson.
The round-up from the week of October 10th – 16th, including Six Degrees news from; Aasif Mandvi, David Javerbaum, Josh Lieb, Wyatt Cenac, Father James Martin, John Hodgman interviews Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and a return of Asteroid 214476 Stephencolbert.
