Re: Help The Balanced Mind Foundation Win $250,000 from Pepsi

Dear xxxxx,

I am writing to you to ask your help for a cause which is near and dear to my heart: The Balanced Mind Foundation (The Balanced Mind Foundation).  The Balanced Mind Foundation has the chance to win $250,000 in the Pepsi Refresh Project. 

Pepsi will give away $1.3 million during the month of December to 32 different worthy causes. The winners will be determined by popular vote. That’s why I’m asking for your help. The Balanced Mind Foundation really needs your vote!

We need you to VOTE EVERY DAY DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. YOU CAN VOTE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS FOR A TOTAL OF THREE VOTES EACH DAY.

Vote online:  http://www.refresheverything.com/The Balanced Mind Foundationhelpsmorekids

You’ll need to register the first time you vote – but it’s a very simple process.

Text:  Text PEPSI (73774) with The Balanced Mind Foundation’s number (104174) as the message.

Vote on Facebook from either The Balanced Mind Foundation’s Refresh Everything voting page (the link above) or from the Facebook Pepsi Refresh app: http://tiny.cc/cabfhelpsmorekids . Complete directions are available at www.thebalancedmind.org/pepsi.

Sign up for a daily email reminder: http://www.thebalancedmind.org/pepsi. If The Balanced Mind Foundation wins the grant, then everyone who signed up will be entered into a drawing to win one of three iPads.

Please forward this email to all your children, friends, and friends of friends. Anyone 13 years old or more can vote – so be sure to any teen you know to vote.

Less than a minute of your time each day can have amazing long-term benefits for children and teens with bipolar disorder and depression. Winning a $250,000 Pepsi Refresh grant would truly transform The Balanced Mind Foundation’s ability to provide support, information and hope to thousands of more families.

WE NEED YOUR VOTES.  VOTE EVERY DAY, EVERY WAY!
