The Pepsi Refresh Project is giving away $1.3M every month "to fund good ideas, big and small, that help refresh our world.

"The Pepsi Refresh Project was developed with the belief that great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, anytime," said Jill Beraud, CMO at Pepsi.

They are looking for "shovel ready" projects. Here is the press release if you want to see who has won;

PepsiCo The Pepsi Refresh Project Awards $1.3 Million to Support the Public's Favorite Ideas to Refresh the World | PepsiCo.com

I ASK YOU ALL: Who deserves to win this more than our very own ALS GUARDIAN ANGELS FOUNDATION, FOUNDER STU MILLHEISER?

Here's what is entailed: We submit an application for the $50K Grant, which they give away 10 every month. We vote everyday, either

1.) thru facebook, very quick and easy. They will ask you to list yourself as ATTENDING, NOT ATTENDING, or MAYBE ATTENDING on a facebook page we have created to describe ALSGA and Stu. Of course you select ATTENDING and they will ask for permission for your private information, which they need for your email address particularly. Then you click VOTE. Very easy. We can also put widgets on our individual facebook pages so our friends can see it and vote too. Make it easy.

2.) the Pepsi Refresh Project voting website. Each email address gets a vote, so you can vote thru each email address you have. For your first vote-- you sign up each email address with name, birth date, password, and required Captcha to prove you're not a bot. Then, each day you simply log in and vote on each email account and all family member's emails too, by proxy.

I would probably just go thru the website because of multiple email accounts, for my family of course. I think it would be easier, but that's just me.

We will know our ranking, but we will not get to see the number of votes. That's how Pepsi does it.

Thank God! No gift votes to worry about. :)

You can vote 10 times a day, but only once for ALS Guardian Angels.

I'm ready to make this happen for the next cycle, which is September 1st to the end of September. I picked the $50K category because it's tougher to win $250K-- we'd need to do a lot in that competition, I'm not in PR, and we have no celebrities behind us.


ALS Guardian Angels could alotta good with $50K!


I don't want to even start this unless there's TRUE SUPPORT for this project. What do you all think of this idea?

Thank you Peggy.

You are welcome

I can vote, however the site asks for a lot of info to register. I have already registered, as I am voting for a MDA send kids to camp cause, but when I registered, it did ask a lot of personal info, If I remember correctly. HUGS Lori

I don't remember going thru much to vote but I was talking to my brother today & he said he had a hard time & never was able to vote but it is still worth the try I think
 
re: Pepsi Refresh Project-- a voting thing for ALSGA-- Shall we go there?

I'm behind this all the way! ALSGA and Stu Milllheiser is MORE than deserving!
I did the site for Chase so if you need any help, let me know. I'm actually going to be meeting with a PR specialist this week, so I'll hopefully get some guidance from him.

You are right Laurie. Sad and discouraging.

Laurie,
BRILLIANT! I do not come here often and I missed your post. Please know that I will support you 300% and do everything that I can to assist you in this worthy cause. Fabulous plan! love from the Prairie, Kay Marie

ps I have to add that I hate being linked to facebook on this forum. Does anyone know if it will be removed and WHEN?
 
re: Pepsi Refresh Project-- a voting thing for ALSGA-- Shall we go there?

I've been dealing with "issues" and have been off and on the site. I, also will support this effort totally!

I did look at the Refresh Project and hope that they will be true to their word and not finagle the voting process.

In the meantime, can someone send me a chill pill? LOL
 
re: Pepsi Refresh Project-- a voting thing for ALSGA-- Shall we go there?

I got a lot of votes for the Chase project. Nancy O' Dells mom had ALS.. I will help big time.. Stu is so deserving.. I am on board.. As is my family and friends...
 
re: Pepsi Refresh Project-- a voting thing for ALSGA-- Shall we go there?

Great you guys! I'm feeling a bit better now..... thanks!

I've done the voting for this (send MD kids to camp) and it really didn't seem that bad. On their website--the first time you vote, you will need to register. But after that-- all you need to vote each day is a password.

Only on Facebook do you need to agree to the permission for personal information. So then.... just vote on the website to avoid that.

Melody will meet with a PR professional and we will see what she says. Definitely we will have specific jobs for some of you. We would have a back up plan also because Melody and I both live in Hurricane Evacuation Territory and the month of September is active for hurricanes.... and maybe OIL too this year! I hope not.

*hugs everybody*
Laurie
