Vote for SCA Foundation to Receive Pepsi Grant

Help save lives in schools across America. That’s what the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation will do if it receives enough votes to win a Pepsi Refresh Project grant.

The “Save Lives in Schools Across America” project will raise awareness in secondary schools and help save lives through:

  • targeted distribution of the Foundation’s award-winning educational publication, You Can Save a Life at School
  • promotion of a video contest that enables students to win automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and CPR tools for their schools (along with other fun prizes); and
  • development of a validated, multimedia educational application to reside at www.sca-aware.org/schools

 
Pepsi has approved the Foundation’s application. Now we need your vote! Please visit http://pep.si/dhYtXv from now until September 30th and vote each day for the “Save Lives in Schools Across America” project.
Or text 102420 from your mobile phone to Pepsi (73774). (Standard rates apply.)

We’ll be active on Facebook and Twitter throughout September, encouraging folks to give us their vote. If you’d like to share our cause with friends and colleagues in your networks, the Pepsi Refresh website and voting app on Facebook make it easy for you to do so.
