Here are two ways you can help us raise $250,000 towards the Carraway project.
1) Go to www.TheVillagePepsiGrant.com. You will be redirected to Pepsi's website and will need to register (you can do this and log-in with FaceBook, etc., or just register with an email address). If they redirect you after that, retype www.TheVillagePepsiGrant.com and it will take you to our "voting" / project page. You can vote for us right there, as well as post our project to your FaceBook wall, tweet it out, etc...
2) Text our code number (104108) - without the parentheses!- to Pepsi's number (73774) each day. It's free- and they will confirm that your vote went through.
Through these voting methods, you can push us to a $250,000 prize.
Here's what it's for:
We have an apartment complex on the northwest corner of the Carraway Hospital, which we will renovate and open for foster care / youth. It will provide housing and will be a community center for teens with no place to live. In addition, it will pool from the resources of the ministry mall next door. You can see our video and learn about it on the Pepsi site where you vote. The video is 3 minutes long.
We submitted a $250,000 grant request to Pepsi. Instead of investing money in Superbowl ads this year, they committed to giving away $1.3 million per month to various groups who would apply online through their website: www.RefreshEverything.com. To that end, we submitted a request on October 1- so that we could have our project go for voting on November 1.
The votes are purely democratic. Everyone who has a project solicits their family and friends to vote each day throughout the month. In the end, the projects in each category with the most votes are funded. That's why we need you to text every day during the month of November- and why we need you to vote on the site.
We applied for $250,000 to run the foster care program from the apartment adjacent to the park, near the large parking deck (north of the main hospital). It would be helpful if you could do the following: Have your co-workers, church members, associates from other groups, etc., do the following each day:
Would you do the following?
1) Go to www.TheVillagePepsiGrant.com. You will be redirected to Pepsi’s site and will need to register and log-in. Then, vote for us. You can vote once a day in this way.
2) Text our code number (104108) to Pepsi’s number (73774) each day.
Then, share the word- post it on FaceBook, pass this email along... Twitter it...
Thanks, so much!
