Pepsi Refresh Project

If you have become a fan of Hailey's Hope on Facebook or if you are my friend on Facebook, then you are probably already familiar with the Pepsi Refresh Project...and this post isn't really for you (but you can read anyway if you want!)... This post is for you who are out of my Facebook loop.

First, a little bit about the Pepsi Refresh Project...

Pepsi is looking for people, businesses, and non-profits with ideas that will have a positive impact, and they are giving away millions of dollars to help fund these great ideas. Each month, Pepsi is awarding grants of all sizes: $5,000, $25,000, $50,000, and $250,000, and they are awarding grants to the top 10 ideas in most grant categories.

Why is this special to me?

Project Sweet Pea (which Hailey's Hope is a local project of) is in the running for a $25,000 grant. When I started voting the project was at around 19 place I believe. Then it moved up to 17... then 15... And today we hit 13th place! We only need to move up 3 more places to make it into the top 10 and receive grant money. Voting continues until April 30th. You are given 10 votes a day but you can only vote once per project per day.

How does this affect Hailey's Hope specifically?

If Project Sweet Pea receives the $25,000 grant money, Hailey's Hope will be directly benefited in the following ways since we are a new project:

$ 1,200	Visa Gift Card purchase for 8 New Local Projects
$ 1,100	Beginner Kits for 8 New Local Projects

Please vote once a day through April 30th for Project Sweet Pea!
