ONLY WPI AND CAA ARE IN THE CONTEST
In 2011, the Chase community giving voting contest on Facebook is likely to take place again. Last year P.A.N.D.O.R.A. won $20 000, because enough of us voted for them. Every facebook user got 20 votes they could use on 20 different non-profit organisations and also two gift votes which could be used to vote on organisations you already voted for or on other organisations for which you hadn't voted before. Now, if all the people that voted on PANDORA also voted on 19 other ME/CFS organisations, they too could have all won $20 000. Of course there are more then 19 other (ME/CFS) organisations in the contest and that's why a lot of votes where distributed over many different organisations. Also most people didn't use up all their votes!
This year however, we want to create a priority list, which lists 18 ME/CFS organisations (and reserves). The selection will happen based on a big poll. The winner of this poll will be our main target (we'll ask friends to vote on this one, use our gift votes for it,...). Numbers 2-18 will go for at least $20 000.
I will organise the poll and also following things:
-Creating a facebook event page, where we can have an estimate of the people that will be participating in the contest and will vote on at least 18 CFS orgs.
-Instructional video and info
-Setting up a contest information center during the contest
If prizes are the same as in 2010, then there is a potential of winning $950 000 ! total.
Questions or remarks, please shoot!
