    Hey guys!

    i just wanted to make sure that everyone here knows that next week, the American Giving Awards will host voting for many different charities and how they will divide the $2 million dollar prize to each charity. If you're confused by that so was I when I first wrote it but basically:
    1st Place gets $1 Million, 2nd gets $500,000, etc.
    So basically, although we're guaranteed a cut, we all need to help make sure we get first prize!
    Voting runs from Dec. 1-8. However, we can only vote once per day.
    I'm gonna now leave a few links that help explain/get everyone connected to vote!

    I voted. Planning to vote everyday. I hope that the organization receives the largest grant, because it has done such a good job aiding everyone who needs it.

    I shall vote in spirit since I do not have a Facebook account and it is technically impossible for me to vote otherwise. Unless I steal someone else's FB page temporarily for the cause. :icon_wink

    RIP, Matt Shepard, I just finished watching the movie for The Laramie Project a few hours ago, and it has greatly inspired me.
