<h1>Help the 2011 NFB Youth Slam Receive a Grant of $250,000 from the Pepsi
Refresh Project!<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p>As many of you already know, now is your chance to help the National
Federation of the Blind (NFB) bring in a grant award of $250,000 by casting
daily votes for our 2011 NFB Youth Slam in the Pepsi Refresh project. The 2011
NFB Youth Slam, similar to its predecessors in 2007 and 2009, will be a
science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) academy for blind high school
youth. Too often, blind students are needlessly excluded from these subjects in
the classroom because many mistakenly believe STEM fields to be dependent upon
sight. In response, one hundred fifty blind high school youth will join blind
STEM professionals, mentors, and other experts in the field at the University
of Maryland College Park for a week of hands-on activities designed to show how
simple accommodations can be made to facilitate the complete inclusion of blind
students in science. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>You can help make this program a reality with your commitment to vote daily.
There are three ways to vote: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start=1 type=1>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>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 to vote via text. *Standard text-messaging rates apply<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Go to <a
href="http://www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam"
title="http://www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam">www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam</a>,
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!<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Go to <a
href="http://www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam"
title="http://www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam">www.refresheverything.com/nfbyouthslam</a>,
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 requires the CAPTCHA. 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.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p>There are detailed instructions for users who choose to vote using the
online method and who will use screen reading software on our Web site at <a
href="http://www.nfb.org/nfb/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=636"
title="http://www.nfb.org/nfb/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=636">http://www.nfb.org/nfb/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=636</a>,
and a link to sign up for daily e-mail reminders can be found on <a
href="http://www.nfb.org" title="http://www.nfb.org">www.nfb.org</a>. The
project is currently hovering around the low 30s in the rankings, and we need
to be in the top two to receive the grant. We need your help to get there, and
we need you to spread the word to your family, friends, church members, social
clubs, and through Facebook, Twitter, and e-mails to everyone you know. Thank
you for your support of the NFB and its important efforts to breakdown barriers
and create opportunities for blind people of all ages.<o:p></o:p></p>
