Stand & Deliver: Education // Tell Your Friends Again, Via Email Monday, February 22, 2010
To help you all spread the word about this final week of voting for Stand & Deliver, we’ve crafted a customizable email. Tell your friends, far and wide, about this unprecedented opportunity to support education locally. Your vote—and that of your networks—could bring $100,000 to Chattanooga.
Neighbors, Family, Friends, and Colleagues,
I’m writing to you today to remind you to vote for Stand & Deliver everyday through February 28th. This initiative, currently up for funding through a public vote in Pepsi’s Refresh Project, will bring $50,000 to Chattanooga in support of education. It starts with a six-month community-wide conversation, and ends with two summits where locals can pitch and launch grassroots projects. The results could be anything, from an experimental college to an after school program.
CreateHere, the organization spearheading this application, has recently announced matching funds for the project. As a result, your daily vote could bring $100,000 to Chattanooga-area schools. Now, more than ever, is the time to participate in this simple process. View the full application and cast a vote at http://www.refresheverything.com/createhere.
Only ten projects will bring home funds in the $50,000 category. Stand & Deliver has bounced around in the top 25 since the competition’s launch on February 1st. In this final week of voting, it will take an extra push from a team of local supporters to make it in the top ten. Please help us revolutionize civic engagement and education. Please help us Stand & Deliver.
Thank you.
