I want to let all of our COCA family members know about an amazing opportunity for COCA, for St. Louis, for ALL OF US. If you have ever wanted to make a difference in your community, but lacked the resources to back up the dream, now is your chance. This is the easiest donation you will ever make! And make no mistake – this gift would be a game changer for the organization.
Let me back up a bit and explain. You may have seen commercials for the Pepsi Refresh project. Basically, Pepsi is looking for people, businesses, and non-profits with big ideas that will have a positive impact. Does that sound like any community arts center you know of? You guessed it – COCA is stepping up to the plate. We submitted the story of our Urban Arts outreach programs, and we made it through the selection process! (You should have heard the cheers in the office – this was not an easy task!)
Each month, the selected ideas compete against each other for votes, and the top ideas get funding from Pepsi. This is where you come in! During the month of September, with your votes and the votes of everyone you know, we can prove to Pepsi that COCA should receive $250,000!
To keep things fresh, we will be updating A Day in the Arts with wow moments and arts experiences for Pepsi. Stay tuned to see where Pepsi will show up next and remember to vote every day.
Thursday, September 2, 2010. Meet Pepsi Bottle 24 fl oz, a representative of the Pepsi Refresh Project and just a regular bottle, manufactured by independent bottlers under the authority of Pepsi Co. Inc. Today Pepsi sits on the front bench outside COCA, on a beautiful summer day. The sight of the COCA blocks is a soothing welcome to the stranger of this historic building.
Also, vote from your mobile phone.
