Help me win $7000 CDN for a rookie FIRST team
If you consider this spam please feel free to delete this post

The Edge 102.1 a radio station in Toronto is having a facebook contest to see who can create the best group and get the most friends to join. The winner will recieve $7000.
http://www.edge102.com/contests/in_the_facebook.cfm
So I created a group to give it a try. If I win I will donate the money to a rookie team in the GTA to help them get started in FIRST. I have not picked a team yet since I don't have the money also I don't know what teams are joining next season.
