SPECIAL MARATHON PROJECT BULLETIN, FEBRUARY 1, 2010:
The Marathon Project has applied for a $25,000 grant through Refresh Everything (http://www.refresheverything.com), a fantastic new Pepsi program that offers $1.3 million in grants to worthy American causes every month.
The Marathon Project is competing with hundreds of other applicants for 10 $25,000 grants, and YOUR VOTES WILL DECIDE THE WINNERS.
The Marathon Project kids train vigorously from March through October with the ultimate goal of completing a marathon, and WE NEED YOU. By following these three steps, YOU will make this remarkable dream a reality (it will take less than a minute):
2. Click the red button, “Health,” then click on $25,000.
3. Scroll to find the idea titled “Mentor and train NY’s at-risk youth to run the Hartford Marathon.” Then click Vote for this idea! (If you have Facebook, simply click the Facebook icon and go through Facebook, otherwise, signing up through Pepsi takes seconds and is a one-time thing.)
You can vote EVERY DAY in March and that’s exactly what we are hoping you will do. Oh, and tell your friends!
In a time of budget cuts and penny pinching, it costs no more than a minute of your time to make it possible for our community’s kids to achieve their monumental goal.
Thank you so much for your support of the Marathon Project and the Hudson Valley’s youth.
