3. We are thrilled to report that Seedlings Braille Books is in the Top 5 in
the Art Van Online Challenge (the top 3 charities will receive grants)!

Please keep voting for Seedlings every day through 9/30 to help us win a
$10K, $15K, or $25K grant from Art Van!

In 2009, Seedlings was awarded a wonderful grant from the Art Van Foundation
which enabled us to place hundreds of new braille books into the hands of
children. Now Art Van is having an online charity challenge, and the winning
charities will be awarded up to $25,000 which would allow us to do so much
more!

email address, and then vote once a day through 9/30 for Seedlings Braille
Books for Children! It will only take a minute and could mean so much to the
blind children we serve. 

You can even vote once a day from home AND once a day from work (put a note
on your computer to remind yourself). And you can help even more by sharing
this information with your friends and family! Tweet it, facebook it, email
it! There are lots of amazing charities in the race and we need all the help
we can get!

Thank you in advance for your support! We'll let you know if we win!
