[Nfb-seniors] It's the Pepsi generation

[Judy Sanders]

Are you voting?  If you do not know what I am talking about read on.  We can do this! Don't forget to get everyone you know to participate.

if this is the first you are hearing about this, keep reading for a way you can help the NFB receive a grant from the Pepsi Refresh project for $250,000 towards the 2011 NFB Youth Slam!
 

Throughout the month of August, the NFB Youth Slam is eligible to receive votes from its supporters, once per day, every day. In our $250,000 category, the top two vote-getters receive the grant award. There are three ways to log a vote:

 

1)     Text Message: Simply put the number 101913 into the body of a text, and send that text to 73774. That's all you have to do each day if you have a texting plan.   

2)     Go to www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam, click the link to vote, and then choose the log in using Facebook option. Once you're successfully logged in, click the vote button on our page again and the vote link will disappear and you'll have logged your vote!

3)     Go to www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam, click the link to vote, and then choose the sign in directly with Pepsi option. This option is the least desirable option, but with practice still can be done in less than a minute each day. An audio captcha is necessary for completing this option, but only this option. If you do not wish to solve a captcha (and do not have the ability to text), please use the Facebook option, even if you simply create a Facebook account to vote for this month and deactivate it once we have won.

 

There are detailed instructions for the online methods on our Web site at www.nfb.org as well as a link to sign up for daily e-mail reminders. Thank you for all your help both in voting for the project and for spreading the word for everyone you know to vote every day. Feel free to use or adapt the message I use below my e-mail signature to promote the effort. Together we can make this happen and bring in much-needed funds for our vital programs for blind youth!

 

Many thanks,
