Help 1p36 Deletion Support & Awareness win up to $250,000 from Chase Community Giving
1p36 Deletion Support & Awareness needs your help! We are on a quest to win an award ranging from $25,000 to $250,000 through Chase Community Giving. Here are the basics: the Top 100 eligible organizations with the most votes will share $3.0256 million—the top charity will win $250,000, and the remaining 99 charities can earn anywhere from $25,000 to $100,000.
Now that we’ve got your attention, it’s time to start generating buzz for 1p36 Deletion Support & Awareness—and time to show the world why our organization is worthy.. And to gather the most votes, we need to get the message out to our friends, family, and supporters, but also the broader community of people in your city, state and region.
Voting runs from Tuesday, November 8th through Tuesday, November 22nd. Unlike the Pepsi Refresh Everything fundraiser we tried last year, you can only vote once. So it is very important that we really get the word out to everyone you know. All voting is done on Facebook through the Chase Community giving App. You will need to accept the terms of the app and then get voting. You can find our voting page by going to http://bit.ly/lAmtmb or you can search for 1p36 from the Chase Giving Page. If you have any problems please email me at k.shirtcliff@1p36dsa.org.
One effective and easy way to get the message out is through the media. A simple mention in the pages of your local newspaper or on the airwaves of your local radio or TV stations, or community blog can potentially generate real results and get us closer to winning. If you need help drafting a press release please contact us, we have sample drafts available. You can spread the word to people you know through Facebook, Twitter, and if you write a blog. If you have children who are old enough to have a Facebook account, get them involved. Have them spread the word with their Facebook friends. Print out a flyer they can take to school to get their classmates to vote. Involve your kid’s special ed. teachers and therapists. There are hundreds of ways to get others involved, these are just a few. During this campaign we will post updates to the 1p36 DSA Facebook page as well as the Facebook support group. If you think of a great way to get more people to vote, please let us know.
