Phoenix Rising Hanging on For Dear Life with 15 Hours to Go in Chase Contest

Hanging On For Dear Life....


With less than 15 hours to go in the Chase Contest Phoenix Rising asks for your help one more time!


Phoenix Rising is hanging on by its fingers and toes in the Chase Community Giving Contest. Right now we're at 163rd place and we need to place in the top 196 to win $10,000. With about 15 hours to go we're about 100 votes ahead of last place and we expect hundreds of votes to be cast on the last day of the contest. Last year 3 ME/CFS groups that were in the money the day before dropped out of it on the last day...We need your support!

We could do lots of things with this money...We could finish our 'Rate a Practitioner' program, produce a Community Rising project to help you your local community, we could make the Forums more accessible, upgrade our website, etc... but first things first....
