Peoria Promise has jumped over 130 spots in the ranking and is inching closer to the top of the list for the Pepsi Refresh Grant project. Pepsi is doing an online contest where it is giving away $1.3 million dollars every month to fund great ideas and Peoria Promise could receive some of that money if it receives enough online votes. Peoria Promise started out at #253 and is now ranked #117, but only the top 10 receive $25,000 grant.
You can vote once per day everyday in the month of July. You will need to register with an email address so Pepsi can keep track of who is voting, but you will not receive any spam emails.
To vote, please go to http://www.refresheverything.com/peoriapromise.
Thanks to donor support, Peoria Promise has sent over 600 students to college in the past two years. The foundation’s mission is to support economic development in the city of Peoria through the enhancement of workforce skills and academic opportunities for the city of Peoria graduates.
