Simple Ways to Promote the NFB Youth Slam in the Pepsi Refresh Project

Thanks to all who continue to vote for the 2011 NFB Youth Slam in the Pepsi
Refresh project! Only through everyone’s help will the NFB be able to pull
in $250,000 to improve the education of blind students in science. This is a
grassroots opportunity to secure funding, and what organization is better
equipped to capitalize on such an opportunity? We have a new blog out there
at www.nfbyouthslam.blogspot.com where we are highlighting other projects
who are voting for us, as well as organizations who are spreading the word
about our effort. The blog also has a link to a promotional flyer you can
use to pass out at various events in your community, or as simple reminders
to your friends to vote. Here are just a few easy ways to use those flyers
and get the word out this month:


   - Contact the church you attend. Ask if they will print a small blurb in
   the bulletin and/or allow you to leave a stack of flyers in the vestibule.
   Pass them out before or after Sunday School.

Ask your local Lion’s Club, Rotary, etc. to pass out flyers and get behind
the cause.
Attending a PTA meeting? Great opportunity to make use of a captive audience
to either pass out flyers or have them text!
And of course, the easiest way is to just ask a few people you know to vote
along with you to support the effort. You can follow up with them each week
to remind them to keep it up. See if you can ask a few new people each week.
Thank you all for your hard work! Below are the three ways to vote, be sure
to use as many ways are available to you each day!


   1. Text Message: Simply put the number 101913 into the body of a text,
   and send that text to 73774. *Standard text-messaging rates apply
   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. 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!
