$51,000!!
We just received official notification from Pepsi that we did
indeed accumulate enough votes to earn the $50,000 Pepsi grant, PLUS...the
additional $1000 from our Secret Admirer for finishing in 4th place!
Many thanks to every one who cast a vote in the Pepsi Refresh Contest, and to everyone who told anyone else about it. This grant will pay the postage for 5,100 care packages!
Every vote you cast truly made a difference--your time and effort were well
spent, and will be greatly appreciated by the 5,100 troops (and their comrades) in harm's way who will receive the care packages during our upcoming Patriotic Drive.
We plan to ship a total of 50,000 Care Packages in April through June. The $51,000 Pepsi Grant will be spent in just one morning of one
Assembly Day. So...we will still
be pushing hard to raise additional funds, through online contests and
otherwise to ensure that all 50,000 care packages can be mailed this Spring.
I hope we can continue to count on your support and hard work. We could
not do this without you!
Thank you again!
