Pepsi Refresh Grant Could Help Ranch

Hi Everyone!  One of our very first volunteer and youngest volunteer, Owen Ford, was able to sign the Ranch up for the Pepsi Refresh Grant Program.  We are in the running for a grant of $250,000.  Anyone that is familiar with this program will know that you have to be "johnny on the spot" to get an organization registered.  The slots fill up so incredibly fast.  Owen did her research!  She described our organization, our vision for central Illinois to be a no-kill community for cats, and our plans for renovating the buildings on our property.  Owen researched our business plan to find out the costs of the renovations.  What I didn't know is that the Pepsi Foundation researches each organization to make sure they are eligible.  We must have passed all the hurdles, because we are one of 309 organizations vying for 2 grants of $250,000! AWESOME!!!!!!  I know all of you are asking yourselves  "How Can I Help This Valiant Effort?"  Here's the answer, sweet and simple, go to:  http://www.refresheverything.com/felineranch, register and vote everyday.  Voting ends January 31, 2011.  We are currently ranked 103 of 309.  I know with every one's help, we could earn this grant.  The $250,000 will allow us to renovate the buildings without incurring more debt.  More importantly, we could help save the lives of so many cats!  Let's show Owen how much we appreciate her efforts and love for the Forever Home Feline Ranch!  Vote Every Day!!
