 |
Vote Every Day. Three Ways! |
|
|
Sign up for a voting reminder at http://www.thebalancedmind.org/pepsi |
|
|
Ask your friends to vote, and sign up for voting reminders. Ask them again! Everyone needs reminding! Ask friends to text when you're with them. Text 104174 to PEPSI (73774) |
|
|
Forward our email to friends along with a personal note asking for their vote. |
|
|
Ask your friends to forward your email to others. |
|
|
Use your Facebook status to ask your friends to vote & ask them to ask their friends via FB. |
|
|
Anyone 13 and older can vote. Ask your children and their friends to vote. |
|
|
Ask them to promote our cause on their Facebook pages, put up flyers, talk to their homerooms, hand out info at school events, etc. |
|
|
The Balanced Mind Foundation can provide letters of support for community service hours. |
|
|
Ask local newspapers, radio stations to support us. Provide them with background info about The Balanced Mind Foundation, our press release and a link to our voting page: http://www.refresheverything.com/The Balanced Mind Foundationhelpsmorekids |
|
|
Hand out info cards or flyers at meetings, church/synagogue, sporting events, including high school games. |
|
|
Ask local schools to help. Will they allow flyers? A link on their website? In the school newspaper? Daily announcement? Will they allow kids to text from school? |
|
|
Ask any blogger you know to post about The Balanced Mind Foundation's project and link to our voting page: http://www.refresheverything.com/The Balanced Mind Foundationhelpsmorekids |
|
|
Ask organizations or businesses you know to put a link on their website or Facebook page. |
|
|
Think about who you know who can reach a lot of people, particularly those involved in any media, sports team, large club or organization, website, etc. People want to help! |
|
|
Look for events where a lot of people are gathered. Ask them to text their vote right then and there. Example: One $250K winner was able to have an announcement made at a Seattle Mariners game with their text number on the scoreboard! This was clearly exceptional...an announcement at a local high school football game would be great! Network! Text 104174 to PEPSI (73774) |
