What Next?

So often when a soldier is injured and then goes through rehabilitation the first thing they want to do is get back with their group. Unfortunately that is not always possible, it could be due to a major injury or any number of things. http://www.missioncontinues.org/ was designed to help these people out by enabling them to serve their country in other ways.

"The Mission Continues was built on the belief that our returning wounded should be recognized not only for the sacrifices they have made, but for everything they have left to give. We award fellowships to empower wounded and disabled veterans to serve in their communities. In doing so, we send the message: "We still need you."  America owes these men and women a great deal, but as a nation, we have much left to learn from them. While injury may have changed the nature of their service, their mission continues, and it is as important as ever".

Anyway check it out I met one of the people involved and I think it's a great cause.

Pepsi Refresh Grant

Great news here at Send Your Best headquarters. We have been accepted and awaiting final approval for the pepsi refresh grant. Pepsi has set up a grant to award companies that help people by offering up to a total of 1.3 Million dollars a month. We have signed up for the 250K grant. We will use the money to finalize the site and make it useful for as many people as possible. Allowing functionality that up till now we had only dreamed of.

Watch this space as we wait to hear more from Pepsi. Once we make it through the final hurdle then we will need to have people vote for us. You can vote everyday for the month. The idea with the most votes wins. It's as simple as that.

fingers and toes crossed.
