Hi all!!

I hope this doesn't come off as spamming the community, but I wanted to share something.

I'm on the Board of Directors for the Autism Women's Network, an organization started by autistic females to provide effective supports to autistic females of all ages through community, advocacy, and resources.

This month, we're in the Pepsi Refresh competition, trying to get a $50K grant to host workshops across the US, set up an online mentoring service, and well, pay for site maintenance and the legal fees for non-profit status.

We need to be in the top 10 in our category to get the grant, so if people here could help by voting every day, it would really help!! We're currently in the top 100.

Thanks.

I'm also on the board of AWN and this contest is great! We have an opportunity to educate the public about females with ASD and to expand our other services, including e-mentoring.

Please vote, every day if you can, to help support these important ideas.

Thanks!!

Thank you for the link. I almost wrote - 'message asplanet and millie' since they would appreciate (plus others, I know) but then....they are Australian! Still, good idea.


...by sheer coincidence I am drinking a diet pepsi right now 8O < mind reading thingy, plus your thread is on the homepage >

Thanks! Help us spread the word around, if you would. There's an option to "share" via email or social networking sites on the poll page.

Hello,
I'm always voting for you guys when you're in the running! Please consider voting for me as well, my idea is to start a Center for Adults with Autism, in Central Maryland. My Pepsi Page is http://www.refresheverything.com/caamd and my text number is 108512 to Pepsi's 73774.

I also desperately need power vote codes on Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, or Pepsi Max, under the bottle cap or in the package.
Thanks!
Bridget
