The Balanced Mind Foundation Needs Your Help!

Posted by mom2one on November 3, 2010 at 12:53pm

Dear The Balanced Mind Foundation Forum Friends,

The Balanced Mind Foundation is in the running for a $250,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project this month.

Winning this grant would transform The Balanced Mind Foundation's ability to provide vital information and support services to children and families living with bipolar disorder and depression.

We can't win without you-- and you can help with just one minute every day. Winners are decided by total votes cast by Internet and text message votes throughout the month of November.

Sign up for a daily email voting reminder at http://www.thebalancedmind.org/pepsi and if The Balanced Mind Foundation wins, a chance to win 1 of 3 iPads.

Vote today, and every day in November:

  • Vote Online: Go to http://www.refresheverything.com/The Balanced Mind Foundationhelpsmorekids. This will take you to the The Balanced Mind Foundation Pepsi voting page. Click "Vote for this Idea". Register once and then you are all set.
  •  Vote on Facebook: http://tiny.cc/cabfhelpsmorekids. The first time you vote via Facebook, you'll be asked for permission to access your information. Click "Allow".

     What else can you do to get more votes for The Balanced Mind Foundation?

    • Bookmark our voting pages: http://www.refresheverything.com/The Balanced Mind Foundationhelpsmorekids  & http://tiny.cc/cabfhelpsmorekids..  We need you to vote every day in the month of November. Anyone age 13 or older can vote. (Feel free to vote for other projects as well -- just not for any other projects which are also requesting a $250,000 grant).
    • Tell your friends on Facebook by clicking this image: on the right hand column of the The Balanced Mind Foundation voting page.
    • FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, along with YOUR PERSONAL MESSAGE asking them to vote for The Balanced Mind Foundation every day. Remember to ask your kids and their friends to vote.
    • Print out flyers and cards which you can give to friends.  Hand them out at meetings, sporting events, etc. 

    Don't think you'll remember every day? No problem! Sign up for daily email reminders for a chance to WIN AN IPAD! If The Balanced Mind Foundation wins the challenge, everyone who registered for a daily email reminder will have a chance to win one of three iPads.

    Winning a $250,000 Pepsi Refresh grant would truly transform The Balanced Mind Foundation's ability to provide support, information and hope to thousands more families.

    WE NEED YOUR VOTES. REMEMBER - VOTING IS AS EASY AS 1- 2 - 3.

    VOTE EVERY DAY, EVERY WAY

    Thank you so much,
