I searched the forum for this - did not see it (MODERATORS take note if this should not be posted)...
Got this in the mail from FRC:
Greetings Teams:
$500,000 is up for grabs! Microsoft has identified nine global non-profits who will receive $500,000 each, and now they would like help in choosing the 10th. Help FIRST get out the vote to become the 10th non-profit to receive $500,000 from Microsoft!
Cast your vote — up to once a day per social platform — for FIRST to be voted the 10th global non-profit in the Microsoft Upgrade Your World Contest! You must be on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram to vote. If you are on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, you can vote for FIRST up to 3 times a day between now and August 23rd.
Retweets and "likes and shares" do not count toward the vote totals; however, please "share" on Facebook and ask your followers to vote on their social channels, too. Please post your message to LinkedIn and ask all your contacts to vote as well! Or, simply go
here and enter @FIRSTweets in the ‘voting’ box.
Example posts you can use on your own social platforms:
Twitter: I #Vote for @FIRSTweets to #UpgradeYourWorld
Instagram: Post your favorite FIRST photo with the text: I #Vote for @first_official_ to #UpgradeYourWorld
Facebook: I #Vote for @FIRST - For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology to #UpgradeYourWorld
Thank you for your assistance with making it loud and winning this potential award to FIRST!
Go Teams!
