Teaching LiveCode to Children

Post by pedinaturalBUSM6Q4 » Tue Oct 07, 2014 4:37 pm

I emailed Heather about this and she suggested that I post this request here.

My name is Terica Lynn Swangin and I am asking for your help. My business, PediNatural®, is in the running to receive a $150K grant from the Chase Small Business Mission Main Street competition. If we are fortunate enough to win, one of the projects we hope to develop and fund is a pilot program that will teach LiveCode to local underprivileged inner-city middle school children as an after school enrichment program. To be eligible for round 2 of the grant process we need at least 250 people to vote for us. I would really appreciate it if everyone could please show your support and vote. And ask others to vote as well. We only have 9 days left to qualify.

Instructions:
Log-in to Facebook. Search for KART Kids Radio and visit the page. Click on the link in the first post and this will take you to PediNatural®'s Mission Main Street Grant profile page. To cast your vote, simply click the blue “Vote Now” Facebook button.

PediNatural® is a well know leader in educational literacy focused products for children. We believe introducing many types of literacy at an early age will allow children to naturally master the developmental milestones that are essential to solid learning foundations. I wholeheartedly believe that teaching LiveCode to these children will creatively and effectively help them develop a new way to think and thrive. 250 votes could give us the chance to change lives and futures. We need the votes by 11:59:00 p.m. ET on October 17th, 2014.


We can do good things together! A Vote for PediNatural® is a Vote for Children's Literacy!

Thank You,

I want to wholeheartedly thank everyone who voted and got others to vote for me and my business PediNatural. I needed 250 to qualify for Round 3: Judges Review and as of the deadline on Friday the final tally was ~ 304 Votes ~ ! Now keep your fingers crossed that the judges feel the same way you do. To all those who helped me - You Are True Heroes For Children's Literacy.


Thank you! Thank you!
