OCF's grant proposal has been approved by Pepsi!!

Now its up to us to get the MOST votes to see that this happens! Starting today (Feb 1) through the end of the month (Feb 28th), everyone will get a chance to vote everyday for this grant. So that means you can vote on OCF's grant once everyday for the entire month. As of this morning we were ranked 76th, and we need to be in the top 2 to win the grant.

Here's the link:

There's several ways to vote:
1. Sign in with your facebook email & password
2. Dont have facebook? You can sign in as a new user with your email
**You can vote once a day per email address.

PLEASE spread this around to as many people as possible! If we win this grant it will be HUGE for OCF and will be the start to see the death rate of oral cancer decrease.

Just a side note- We chose a different message to spread than the "before and after" oral cancer photos. I know that we can all agree that seeing the effects of oral cancer sends a shocking message. However, from our experience- most tend to turn their heads away from shocking images like that. It may be reality- but most people do not want to accept that reality. The only way they will spread a message is if it makes them feel good. Pepsi's campaigns, commercials, and marketing always take a positive approach leaving you feeling good about the message and wanting to pass it along to more people. In order for us to fit into Pepsi's goal is if we adapt our campaign to reflect their marketing strategy.

Once you click on the link above, you will see that OCF's campaign is taking a positive approach to share this message to the general public. We want people to know that its as simple as getting screened. But- it's your responsibility to make sure you're screened every year.

It's a hard disease to swallow, so speak out now to prevent oral cancer!

Thank you all for your help!
