PLEASE – Vote DECA Every Day!

Dear Association Advisors,

It’s time to Vote DECA Every Day!

DECA is competing for a $250,000 Pepsi Refresh Grant, www.refresheverything.com/decainspires. Voting starts on April 1st and runs through April 30. Grants are determined by popular vote, so we need you to Vote DECA Every Day! – and to encourage your local advisors, chapters, membership, friends, family classmates and colleagues to do the same.

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how important this grant would be for our entire organization. If we’re successful in our campaign, DECA’s Pepsi Refresh Project will focus on 3 critical program areas:
·      Competitive Events – support the advancement of DECA’s Competitive Events Program and to the sponsor our International Business Plan Event.
·      Teacher Training – expand DECA’s professional development opportunities for Advisors.
·      Capacity Building – build new DECA Chapters and deliver services to greater numbers of members and advisors.

To vote for DECA’s Pepsi Refresh Project go to, www.refresheverything.com/decainspires. You’ll need to register through the Pepsi Refresh site to cast your vote. At the bottom, left hand corner of the page click “Sign In” and follow the prompts – you can either create an account through the Pepsi Refresh site or login through your Facebook account. Once you’re in, click on “Vote for this idea.” You can vote for DECA’s Pepsi Refresh Project one time every day.
Because this is a viral campaign we also need your help to spread the word -
·      Post a comment on DECA’s Project page after voting.
·      Post your vote on the status page of your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn and/or other social media pages – click “Promote this idea” from the www.refresheverything.com/decainspires page.
·      Create a Widget for your web site – click on “Widgets” from the www.refresheverything.com/decainspires page.
·      Encourage your friends, family, classmates, students, colleagues, neighbors…. to Vote DECA Every Day! – and to spread the word through their networks.

While you can only vote for DECA one time every day, you can vote for up to 10 projects every day. Please do not vote for our competitors in the $250,000 category. Only one grant will be made in this category and we want it to be DECA! That said, we encourage you to look at other projects, in other grant levels, and cast your vote. In particular, we encourage your support of the Global Language Project in the $50,000 category. They have a great educational concept and project that we support.

Sincerely,

John Fistolera
Director of Development
