The marine sanctuary program submitted a grant requesting $250,000 to Pepsi’s Refresheverything online grant program at midnight (ET) on September 1st.  The Refresheverything grant program administrators will review the first 1,000  ideas submitted and those that are approved will be eligible for public online voting  during the month of October via the Refresheveryting website.  The title of the marine sanctuary grant is “Make The Gulf Snorkelicious!  Heal The Gulf With Beach Reefs” .

Look for a Vote Snorkelicious campaign to begin shortly before October.  Each person can vote daily during the month at www.refresheverything.com once the October grant voting cycle is opened.

The Pepsi Refresh Everything grant program has a brand new entrant…..US – or they will come September!

Our entry is Make The Gulf Snorkelicious!   Heal the Gulf With Beach Reefs and is prepared and saved in Pepsi’s online system awaiting the September 1 submission deadline.

Voting starts October 1st and continues through October.  All you have to do is visit our site at the  link above  and vote.   Note – the link won’t be active till September 1st.   You can vote every day in September.

Help us get the word out and ask your Facebook friends to become a fan.   We’ll notify you  here and on Facebook when voting begins.
