It’s time for another Goodness update.  Although I do miss updating 365 daily, I have been a very busy goodness bee!  In the last post, I told you all about PROJECT GOODNESS. Well, after several months of working hard, and filling out lots of paperwork, I am happy to report that PROJECT GOODNESS is an official 501(c)(3) non-profit within the state of California and can now seek funding and donations!  I am ever so thrilled that I will now be bringing PROJECT GOODNESS (which started from The Good Deed Program) to schools all over!

PROJECT GOODNESS is still in the running for a 25k grant from the Pepsi Refresh Campaign.  We need to get into the top 10 to win that grant, and currently we are #17– we are SO close!  I need your votes everyday so that PROJECT GOODNESS will have funding for all the programs starting in the fall!  You can vote 3 different ways EVERYDAY!

1. You can vote directly on the Pepsi site for PROJECT GOODNESS: http://www.refresheverything.com/projectgoodness

2. You can vote for PROJECT GOODNESS via my Facebook page by clicking the yellow button that’s on there  (if we’re not friends, let’s do that!): http://www.facebook.com/allidseigel

3. You can TEXT your vote for PROJECT GOODNESS into Pepsi.  Text 100222 to 73774 (Pepsi).  Standard Text messaging rates do apply.

3 Ways to do some GOOD every day and help PROJECT GOODNESS, which aims to change the world, one little hand at a time!

Also if you or someone you know is looking for a non-profit to donate to, PROJECT GOODNESS would love any and all donations!  No amount is too small–as the mantra of PROJECT GOODNESS is “every little bit counts!“  And, since PROJECT GOODNESS is now a tax exempt organization, your doantions are tax deductible!! Goodness for all! Now how good is that?!

I will keep you posted as I embark on this exciting new journey! You have all been with me from the beginning of this goodness quest, back in January of 2009, and I thank YOU for your goodness and kindness and for all your love and support!

“Goodness comes to us in a variety of forms.  There are those obvious acts that are easily recognized and appreciated, but then there are those subtle acts, those that may not be recognized at first glance, that can change us forever.”
