In the summer of 2011, the TBC Youth will be working with an organization called Winds Like Eagles in South Dakota. This group is a non-profit 501c3 Public Charity to benefit the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. These families are among the poorest in the US and they desperately need help to improve their health and homes.
Wings Like Eagles has applied for a $50,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project. In order for Wings Like Eagles to receive the funding, they must get enough votes from people like you and me to rank in the top 10 of the $50,000 projects. Currently (12/05) this much needed project is ranked #151, but you can help!
Everyday you can text your vote for the project. Text the message 104420 to 73774. (Standard messaging rates apply.) You can also vote online by going to http://www.refresheverything.com/wingslikeeagles and vote there after signing in. You can vote once a day via text and once a day via the website, so every person can vote twice each day! The voting continues through December.
Help us get the word out about this project. Post it on your Facebook, Tweet it out, e-mail some friends. Working together we will be able to help Wings Like Eagles as they server the Lakota Souix people.
