Default Need CP support! Help a local chairty win $25K

My sister is a cancer survivor who started a new Charitable Organization called Helping Families Handle Cancer. The Foundation helps families who are struggling to pay bills as they take time away from work to assist a child battle cancer. Pepsi Refresh is doing a pretty cool thing right now. They are giving away money to some pretty amazing charities.
So the charity is in the category of $25k and top 2 voted ideas gets the grant. Currently we are in 3rd but we have gone back and forth around the 1-4 mark since it has started.
Here is what you can do: Please go onto the website and vote for her cause by clicking the link below. Click "Vote For This Idea" and enter your email address and a password.
You can vote up to 1 time per day/per email address. http://www.refresheverything.ca/helpingfamilies

If you think this is a good cause, I'd beg you to put a posting of the link up on your facebook or twitter account, or send out an email to friends and family.

Too busy to vote? : I will vote for you. You may PM me as many email address' as you want and I will personally vote for you every single day by creating my own password for your email address. (it doesn't require any personal info to vote or any confirmation email.

Please help out a local amazing charity. I know cancer has touched a lot of people and the last thing people need is having to worry about paying their bills while dealing with a sick child. This charity is 100% local and 100% of money earned will go to the families in need. Thanks for the support in advanced.

Thank you for not writing the words "jihad" or "CP jihad" anywhere when asking for these votes.

Thanks for everyone that has voted. We still havent moved from 3rd in several days which kinda sucks because we have been working so hard. Top 2 charities get paid.

Anyone have any good ideas on how to get votes?

Currently we have all of our facebook friends posting links. We have handed out flyers at the mall (didnt go so well), we have a facebook ad, and we have even spent a bunch of money at fiverr.com. Not sure how well that went.

Some jihads take off and some don't...not sure why. I disagree with Meelapo, though. I think you should title this a jihad and see if it drums up any business. We've had success here before.

Also, it's good when the person you're trying to beat out is from Edmonton.
Or decides to come here and start bitching...

Well the person who is trying to win money for a wheel chair accessible park said you had an ugly face...

Did it work?
