Dear HHSO,

THE CONCEPT: 
The Sharing the Prize Seed Grant program will provide two Valley non-profit organizations with $25,000 to accomplish a shared community improvement project that lifts and strengthens the greater Valley community – our kids, our neighborhoods, our schools, our underserved populations.

AN OVERVIEW:

Of our project can be found here: http://www.blueprinteducation.org/younglives

THE CATCH: 
Finalists are selected by a combination of online voting and the Sharing the Prize Seed advisory board. We need to use the power of our social networks to gather votes.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: 

Go to http://sharingtheprizeseed.org/grant/ and vote for “Help young and expectant moms graduate from high school”

Our project description is at the bottom of the page. The voting poll is on the right hand side of the webpage and our project is listed first!

Voting is now open and will end on May 21, 2010

WHAT MORE CAN I DO?:  Spread the word via your social networks – Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, blogs, personal emails to friends and family.

Thank you for your support!

Blueprint Education and YoungLives

**Please note there is only one vote per internet connection. If you receive the “Thank You for Voting” message, then your internet connection has already been used to vote. We recommend using a different internet connection to vote. Suggestions: your home computer, coffee shop, library, restaurants.
