Each approved charity is given a page on this site.  You can submit text, photos or videos.  Bear in mind that this is a great place to make your case.  You increase your chances of winning if you provide information that wins the hearts and minds of the majority of voters!  Think about what would lure votes toward your cause.  Send photos, plans, tell stories... Anything that would cause people to rally behind your charity!

Feel free to link your promotional campaign to your dedicated page on this website. You may wish to also encourage your existing supporters to join us!

• All approved projects will be given the opportunity to speak for 3-5 minutes prior to the vote.
• The "Meet and Mingle" before the vote will also be an opportunity to promote your project.  
• It is a good idea to have handouts so that, should people be rushed, they will have an opportunity to read about your project before they vote.
