The Foundry Needs Your Help! .....To Win $50k Grant from Pepsi Refresh Project

The Foundry for Art Design and Culture has applied for $50k from the Pepsi Refresh Project. Voting opened today and we are ranked 25th in the $50k category out of 204....not bad, but not good enough. They award only the top 10, so we desperately need your help.

We are asking our friends and supporters to vote once per day starting today through Feb 28 at http://www.refresheverything.com/thefoundry. We are listed in the $50k category. Our project is described on the Pepsi website, but I've included a video here that describes our idea. Your support is deeply appreciated. Please feel free to spread the word, and to stay in touch with us in the following locations:
