Keep up the WEEKEND VOTING!

You just never know. ;)

That's what one of our veteran voting partners told us. Votes get audited. Ideas get investigated. And there has been game-changing, last-second changes in past months. So ... Like I mentioned ideas have voting strategies of their own this weekend, so if you're at a party, can you get everyone to text? Or send out a Happy Halloween e-mail with the treat being to cure kids with brain cancer?

Remember, you can give 3 votes per day:
1) Text 103447 to 73774 (Pepsi's mobile number)
2) Visit Pepsi Refresh's FB page and click "go to application" to vote.
3) Go to http://www.refresheverything.com/kyriefoundation

AND PLEASE keep voting The Kyrie Foundation today and tomorrow! Plus, our friends and St. Michael's really need our help. They were at #1 int he $50K category for weeks then slipped to #2. Today we see them at #3! That's how quickly things can happen.

Please visit St. Michael's site to vote ALL 3 WAYS for them, us and our partners! www.smawin.com

Let's make today Partner Day!

Remember you get 10 votes a day to spend with the Pepsi Refresh Project! This means that you can support those ideas that are also supporting us. For the past several weeks, we've had a team of ideas work together to help each other through this competition. Our local partner, St. Michael the Archangel school in Leawood, KS, has been #1 in the $50K category for a long time and has slipped to #2, so we need to do all we can to bring them and our other partners up, up and up!

I am beyond delirium at this point. ;) Up for too long. Trying so hard. Think and wondering, hoping and praying. I can tell that this month's journey has been highly enlightening to understand human dynamics, motivation, intent and goodness. I could write a mini tell-all best-seller!

All we ask is that you just keep doing what we know to be true and hold fast to that which is good.

With the race getting hotter,

we're holding in 4th PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we have 8 days to go!!!!!!!!!!! Woo-HOO!!!!!

BIG THANKS to all of our enthusiastic volunteers who made sure everyone at the Fall Festival knew about the vote. The float looks great--filled with kiddos!!!!!!

We also discovered this Facebook video, which Mimi agreed to share with us. The same morning we share this powerful video—the reason why we're fighting so hard for attention & votes—we learn the little Alexander met Kyrie yesterday morning, too. Our hearts ache for Alexander's family. For me, it reignites the fervor with which we need to make sure potential voters know how important each click is.

We've got a big job ahead of us this week, but I'm confident that we've climbed this far for a reason. Let's take it to the top!!!!!!

When kids help kids ...

Have I told you how much we love that? And who knew that kids with their cell phones could be such a powerful force for good! 

4th PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ginormous thanks to Andover Central High School!!!

And the person responsible for Go, Kyrie, Go Day?!? She rallied the troops in more way than she could ever know.

Thank you, Shelley Electric, for you incredible support!!!

Go, Kyrie, Go Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7th PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your votes and my votes and their votes are really working! THANK YOU! Just 5 more spots to really change the world!

The lovely Easter Bunny/Frosty/Dorothy, who organizes all of those great toy trips to Wesley hospital each season, designated Wednesday, October 20 as Go, Kyrie, Go! Day!!!!! So what does that mean?

• wear any Kyrie Foundation tee you may have from an event or our official designer tees.
• tell anyone & everyone about the vote, thank those who have and remind them to keep it up.
• print and pass out flyers from a couple weeks ago. This could be at tonight's ball game, at your bunco group, at happy hour, at the mall, at Wal-Mart, at dance practice, at the office, around the neighborhood—whatever idea you can dream up.

• get a group to text vote all at once--the more the merrier!
• leave a comment on the EK Success Brands Facebook page and the Spotted Canary Facebook page in the week of 10/15-10/22, and we'll earn $1 per comment!
