Subject: vote needed for childhood cancer goal


I received the following forwarded email from a friend who works at Sabre - thought I'd pass it on if anyone considers this a worth while goal and would like to vote.

Hi Friends,

As many of you know, for the past 14 years, I have volunteered with the Make-A-Wish foundation. I’ve had the honor and privilege of meeting some of the bravest little warriors in the world. Some have been cancer free for 13+ years, some are still battling, some are angels and no longer fighting this dreadful disease. About 2 years ago, one of the little warriors, Vinny’s Mom asked me to join her in a foundation to support kids with cancer. I am now on the board for Kids of Childhood Cancer Foundation, we are a 501c3 and work with the kids at our local hospital, assisting the families financially by helping with bills, providing meals and snacks to the families on the ward, holding parties on the ward, and adopting the families at Christmas time. Our ultimate goal is to have a beach house on the NC coast – a safe haven for the kids and families to escape the harsh realities of the cancer world, even if just for a few days.

This month – that long term goal seems more within reach. I submitted an idea to Pepsi Refresh project, for 50K towards our dream. We were selected, and are currently #4 in the 50K level – from ideas submitted all over the country. If we can remain in the top 10 on 11/30 – we will get that 50K – and have a down payment to start looking for our haven for the kids. We are thrilled to have this opportunity – but it’s very competitive – people do it every month and form alliances and know how to play the game. We know being #4 now doesn’t mean we are in. So, I’m asking if you could help by voting, and sharing with your friends. You can vote 1 of 3 ways (or all 3).

1. Sign-in with facebook
2. Create a Pepsi account and sign in with Pepsi
3. Text a vote to 79774 (Pepsi) - Text 109818


You can also read more about our foundation at

Please feel free to share with any other Sabre friends that aren’t included on this email – if you think they’d be interested. Thanks so much for your time, and we (and “Our Kids”) really appreciate your support!

Thanks,

Lynn
