Quick Announcement For Thursday

Fan Page

Group

OK, so I don't really have the most exciting blog I've ever written for today, but I do have something quick I need to get across to y'all.

I know, it's the Chase Community Giving contest I've been talking about a lot in the past week or so. It's coming down to the wire (it ends Monday night), and the top 200 vote-getting charities in this contest will receive $20,000. We've bounced around between #155 and #200 this week, so voting is tight and the standings are volatile. We're not the only group trying to get out the vote — that's for sure! It's an easy contest — you can only vote once, so it's not one of those things where you have to vote every day from every browser on every one of your computers.

Anyways, I created something that I think is a pretty easy tool for you to use. It's going to take you maybe a minute and it's really going to help. Here's what you do:

1. Think of three friends who would vote for us and GO TO THIS PAGE and enter their e-mail address in the form and they'll receive an automated email asking them to vote.

2. If you haven't voted, VOTE!. If you've already voted, skip this step. You can't vote twice!

3. Share on Facebook and Twitter.

And that's it. Those three steps will make a huge difference. For bonus points, do step #1 twice and that should take care of really igniting a fire that will keep us in the top 200!

Sorry to keep bugging about this, but it's such a big opportunity and we're so close ... I really can't let this slip away!

I'll be back here tomorrow with my standard weekend preview blog. Have a great rest of your Thursday!
