Hello All!
Some good news was received today for Suitcase4Soldiers!
In April I filled out an application for the Pepsi Refresh project. Pepsi Refresh is basically a program that gives out a variety of grants for submitted projects across the nation.
I applied for a $5,000 grant to help my project expand back in April. Mid-April, I received notification that my application was "randomly selected" for further review.
Today (notably my birthday and the day we received the news of Osama Bin Laden's death) I received an email that Suitcase4Soldiers was selected for the voting process.
Currently, my project is ranked 28th out of around 150 projects in the "Communities" section. Out of hundreds of submissions and 4 categories, 20 $5K grants are given out each month, averaging to about 5 grants per category.
Voting began today and continues until May 30th. In order to vote, you either must Log In using FacebookConnect or create a Pepsi Account (which is a very quick and easy process). Each person gets 5 votes daily, but a maximum of one vote per project. Which means that you can vote for Suitcase4Soldiers once daily, unless you use Power Voting.
Power Voting is available to all who purchase Pepsi Products. In order to access PowerVoting, You can purchase any Pepsi product and enter the 10 digit code on the Pepsi refresh website. With Power Voting, you can give up to 100 votes per product purchased, and you can use up to 10 codes per day.
You can also vote by text message once a day! Text the number 105672 to Pepsi (73774) to vote.
