As many of you know the New Jersey Bocce Invitational has established a large following of supporters since inception in 2006. We are planning the 4th Annual New Jersey Bocce Invitational in 2011 for our soldiers through Operation Shoebox along with the support of The Wounded Warrior Project and the children of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Please take a moment to vote to assist us in getting a $50,000 grant from Pepsico. The Pepsi Refresh Project, www.refresheverything.com, is giving away $20 million in grants to "people, businesses, and non-profits with ideas that will have a positive impact." And the New Jersey Bocce Invitational is in the running for $50,000! This will allow us to continue to send care-packages to our soldiers with letters enclosed from guests and support the children undergoing cancer treatment through St. Jude Research Hospital.

For the entire month of September, people can vote once a day, so I'm hoping you could help spread the word by emailing friends, tweeting about our idea, posting about it on Facebook or coming up with other creative ways to get people to vote. EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
