i need a massive favor from all my homies....a freind of mine needs your votes and below is a breif description of what it's all about. i was gonna try explain it myself but i was scared that i would mess it up so i cut and pasted this from the haminators blog.
.... great woman in our church, Kacy Edwards, is a former teacher with a heart for the kids of our community. She quit teaching to start an organization called “Career Compass of Louisiana”, which helps high school seniors with their post-secondary endeavors at no charge. Kacy and another former teacher, Julie Scott, go into high schools and sit one-on-one with the kids, offering college and career coaching to them for free! Not only do they inform the students about the more than 30 schools in the area, but they also help them fill out SAT/ACT applications, federal financial aid forms, post-secondary applications, scholarship applications, and anything else they may need to pursue their goals and dreams. They met with and assisted over 500 seniors in EBR parish last year and have plans to expand into Ascension, WBR, Livingston, Iberville and other surrounding areas.
I say all that because Burger King is sponsoring a contest where they will give $50,000 to a winning cause. Out of more than four-thousand organizations, Career Compass has already made the top TEN - but in order to win, they need your help! (Sidenote: they are a two person non-profit up against much larger corporations) You can vote once a day between now and July 13 at www.campaignforyourcause.com. You can also text message COMPASS to 287437(BURGER). If you’re on the forgetful side, check out www.careercompassla.org and sign up for daily reminder. Voting will only take a second, but the money Career Compass might win could change the lives of thousands of teenagers in our state. They might even help change the life of someone you love.
Kacy’s relationship with HPC gave her the courage to start this whole thing. Her passion is education and she is leading the charge to change lives in Louisiana. Let’s step up and put this state on the map for something amazing! I’m voting every day- are you?
there are just a few days left in the voting. You can vote every day by sending a text message to 287437 or by clicking here. Read more about what this is about here.
Please do your best to vote every day - it’s free - it matters a ton. Thanks.
