You can help a neighboring community action agency trying to win $250,000 in the Pepsi Challenge ---but you’ve got to act now!
Yamhill County is trying to build a food warehouse. They have raised over $2 million and have about $800,000 to go. They have entered the Pepsi Challenge in the $250,000 category. That puts them in some pretty stiff competition, but, with the help of Newburg High School students, they have climbed from #51 to #26 spot in the last 10 days. The idea with the most email or text votes wins. Only the top 2 ideas pass into the finals on October 31st. If you want to help, we have to move them up 24 spots by the end of the month.
You can “vote” once a day from every email address you have, and you can also text once a day.
If you would like to help:
Log onto yamhillcap.org
Under the column entitled “Capital Campaign” click on the button that says “Vote for This Idea.”
That takes you to the Pepsi Challenge website and the YCAP voting page. (You’ll have to create a name and password the first time).
Then click on “In the Running for $250,000”. When your vote has tallied, you’ll hear the sound of a Pepsi can opening and you’ll get a “thank you” message.
You can also text your vote by texting 102615 to 73774 (or, on a BlackBerry, text to 73774 and in the message box type 102615. You will receive a thank you text confirming your vote right away.
