The Clorox Company is offering a tremendous opportunity to win a grant of up to $50,000 for the  Playground Fund.  

WE NEED YOUR VOTES TO WIN!  VOTE EVERYDAY!  TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!  START VOTING TOMORROW!  ON-LINE and VIA TEXT - TWO VOTES EVERY DAY!

From Oct. 24 through Dec. 9 adults and kids 13 and older can vote online at http://www.powerabrightfuture.com/gallery/detail/?nid=1648. 

You can also vote via text message, text "clorox 8589" to 44144

There are many programs nominated to win a grant, but only the one with the highest number of votes will win a $50,000 grant. 

The next three top vote getters (one from each category - Play, Explore and Create) will each win $25,000 grants.

Every day, you can vote once on-line AND you can vote once by text message.

We also need you to spread the word. 

Tell your friends, neighbors and family members far and wide to vote every day.  (We are the only White Plains, in fact the only Westchester school seeking a playground grant.) 

Use Facebook, Twitter and e-mail to ask people to vote.   Tell your middle and high-school kids (13 years and over) to put their texting skills to good use. 

If you need sample e-mails, etc. to use when spreading the word, let us know and we will provide it.   This is a great cause and you won't be asking anyone to buy anything or give any money - just a little bit of time each day.

Thank you for your support.  Contact us at gwplayground@gmail.com or (914) 437-5781 with any questions.
