Second Place is OK, but Connecticut Can do Better!



Second Place is OK,
but Connecticut Can do Better!


With $10,000 on the line for our effective, scrappy, and always scraping for funding New Haven based mentoring program called the "Gang of Dads," I hope you'll allow me to be a bit of a pain over the next 10 days. We are the only Connecticut pony in this horse race..and a horse race it is!  We only have 9+ days to reach the top!

At this moment, we are in second place among the eight finalists. We've gotten to within 5 votes of the the New York program that's now in first place, but they (understandably) have turned up their efforts and increased the margin to 35 votes. This one email could reverse the tide and flip the margin to our favor if you'll take the 30 seconds to vote right now. Please; the link to vote is at the bottom of this mail piece.

Once again, we're the only Connecticut mentoring program to make it to the finals!!

From among 100 entries in the four state region of Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts, the Gang of Dads Mentoring program (a partnership between the Greater New Haven Help Alliance and The New Haven Family Alliance) has been chosen to be among the eight finalists to go on to the next round in First Niagara Bank's annual mentoring push! Praise God! 

The entry consisted of a 60 second video that was supposed to tell a compelling story in support of  mentoring. 15 year old Jayson and his mentor, Montrel did a great job in telling just such a story! 

Now we need YOUR VOTES, YOUR FRIENDS VOTES, YOUR FAMILY'S VOTES AND EVERYONE ELSE'S VOTES FROM BOTH NEAR AND FAR FOR THIS VIDEO! It's just a horse race for votes now. By the grace of God and with your help, WE CAN DO THIS!! Pray. Vote. Share!

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU FOR TAKING LESS THAN A MINUTE TO CAST YOUR VOTE!
