A Special Request to You
The
Pepsi Refresh Project is giving away 20 million dollars to fund ideas that
will “refresh the world.” This grant program awards 1.3 million dollars each
month in $5,000, $25,000, $50,000, and $250,000 increments to the project
ideas that receive the greatest number of votes. Individuals can vote for 10
ideas each day.
The Helping Hands Clinic, Inc. has been chosen as a participant in the
Pepsi Refresh Project. We are competing for $50,000 to “Prevent Strokes
among Homeless Day Laborers” during the month of September 2010, and we
need your help! All it takes to win the $50,000 is coming in in the top 10 on
Sept 30. So your votes and spreading the word to others is important.
You can help us by registering and voting each day in September, forwarding
this message to others, posting this information (on facebook, your blog,
twitter, etc.), and encouraging others to support us by casting their vote!
Registering to vote will not bring you any spam from Pepsi.
Basic Voting Instructions:
Go
directly to the link below:
http://www.refresheverything.com/helpinghandsclinichypertensioncontrol
Resist the urge to immediately click on the large “Vote for this Idea”
button. You have to sign in first.
At the bottom left of the page, quite small, are two choices:
SIGN IN / JOIN PEPSI REFRESH
If you have not yet joined, i.e., voted a previous day, select Join Pepsi
Refresh. It will take you through a brief sign up process. Once you have
signed up and gone through the password and verification process, it should
take you right back to the Helping Hands page. THEN you can click Vote For
This Idea, and you’ve done it. (At the bottom of the page it shows how many
votes you have left for the day; it should change from 10 to 9 if it
registered your vote.)
If you DID already join, at the bottom of the Helping Hands page at link
above, just click “SIGN IN.” The sign in page will pop up, and once you have
signed in for the day, it will pop right back to our page. THEN you can click
Vote For This Idea. At the bottom of the page it shows how many votes you
have left for the day; it should change from 10 to 9 when it registers your
vote.
Once you have voted for the day, the Vote for this Idea block will change to
Thanks! if you try to go to it and vote a second time. Although the website
says you can vote 10 times a day, you can only vote for any one idea once a
day. Thank you for your help!!!
