Hey, Tonya sent this one to me today - it looks like a great opportunity for us to help get a $100,000 grant for our favorite park - for me, it's a toss-up between the Stone and the Smokies - I love 'em both and they both need all the help that they can get. Give it a look and vote, vote, vote!

National Park Foundation and Coca-Cola: "America Is Your Park" campaign


Good afternoon, Park Superintendents.
I’d like to tell you about an opportunity for your park to receive a $100,000 grant from Coca-Cola through the National Park Foundation.

The National Park Foundation and Coca-Cola are encouraging Americans to be active outdoors in their national and state parks with the launch of the “America Is Your Park” campaign. Through this campaign, an online voting center has been created to let individuals cast a vote for their favorite park. The national or state park that receives the most votes by August 31 st wins a $100,000 grant made possible by Coca-Cola’s Live Positively initiative. No sign-up or registration is necessary to participate and individuals can vote as many times as they want until the voting closes on August 31 st .

To vote, begin by clicking here . Then simply:

1) Click the “Vote for your park!” button.

2) Type the name of the park you’d like to vote for in the “Search” box in the upper left corner, and hit the Enter key. (You may also search for parks by state or zip code.)

3) Click on the red “Vote” button next to the name of the park you support.

In addition, for every vote cast, Coca-Cola will also donate $1 to the National Park Foundation up to a total donation of $200,000.

Please do not hesitate to contact me or my colleague Kate Truesdell if you have any questions. Thank you for helping us to share this information and best of luck in this opportunity to receive the $100,000 grant!
Dan
