They are both displayed at http://www.chasegiving.tk/

(Obvious) People can add this to their favourites (in your browser) as a quick way to find it. It might also remind people.

Done and Done! I clicked on the link on facebook provided by Pandora and WPI. It took about 10 seconds. I hope everyone does this.

 

[citybug]

They have 77 votes, need a lot more!

 

[Frank]

WPI is in 17th place, PANDORA on 53, common everyone!

Today i will create a shorter video for the dutch community.

 

[Nina]

I voted and asked all my FB friends to vote, too. I really hope we can do better this time!

 

[Dolphin]

Anyone able to vote for day#2?

When I go in now, there is no vote option?

 

[Frank]

i think you have to wait 24 hours to vote again..

 

[Dolphin]

i think you have to wait 24 hours to vote again..

Ok. That would suggest that the closer one does it to 24 hours later, the better e.g. if you wait 36 hours each time, you'd only get 2 votes in 3 days rather than 3.

i'm not sure about it dolphin

From Co-Cure:

Hi,

An earlier message about daily votes for Chase Community Giving was incorrect. It is not one vote per day, but rather each person gets
twenty(20) votes total, and you can only use one vote per charity.
However if you vote on 5 different charities you get a 'bonus vote'
which can be sent to someone you know who can then use it to vote for the same charity twice, and they can send their bonus vote to you as well, and if all twenty votes are used a second bonus vote is given however you need to swap votes with a new person as you can only vote on a given charity twice. Sorry for the incorrect info.

Participating and Voting
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE OR VOTE. During the voting period, Participants who allow "Access" and "Like" the Chase Community Giving application on the Facebook platform, may vote for Charities.
Unless a Participant is the recipient of a Gift Vote, described below, each Participant will be limited to one (1) vote per Charity with a total of twenty (20) votes per valid user profile. Participants will earn an extra vote ("Gift Vote") after casting five (5) votes and a second Gift Vote again when they cast all twenty (20) votes (excluding Gift Votes). Gift Votes may only be sent to and used by another Participant who may use the Gift Vote to vote for any Charity, but may only vote for the same Charity no more than two (2) times.

I know Dolphin big mistake of myself . If you're out of votes you can create a second facebook acount with another email-adres.

 

[Dolphin]

I know Dolphin big mistake of myself

I certainly won't hold it against you.
And it's less work for everyone. :Retro smile:

Now I suppose the task is to make sure people encourage others to vote. Lots of people have lots of Facebook friends.

 

[Frank]

Bad news, WPI has been removed...

 

[citybug]

Oh sorry, they must be too big. They said this month was oriented towards small organizations.

Would you want to add the Vermont or NJ cfs organization to the article? Do you know if WPI entered themselves, or if someone else can for Pepsi Refresh next month? (For that we do vote every day).

 

[Frank]

it's almost midnight over here, i'm disappointed, i'll work something out tommorow

 

[citybug]

We need a patient support group for WPI with charitable status that would give the money to them.

 

[Dolphin]

National CFIDS Foundation

One that could be plugged with others:
National CFIDS Foundation
http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/charities/43350621-national-cfids-foundation-inc

They are a low cost group - no paid staff. All their proceeds go to research. They have funded some interesting studies before. They're a national group that might have a reasonable chance of getting in top 200.

There are other groups also - search CFIDS or CFS for example.

Iacfs/me=american association for chronic fatigue syndrome inc

Another one is:

http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommu...-association-for-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-inc

IACFS/ME=AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME INC

The mission of the IACFS is to promote, stimulate and coordinate the exchange of ideas related to CFS, ME and fibromyalgia (FM) research, patient care and treatment. In addition, the IACFS periodically reviews the current research and treatment literature and media reports for the benefit of scientists, clinicians and patients.

Patients could show their support for researchers and professionals in the area. They'd like to fund research also but have no money or not much, as far as I know.
