Ok, so we promised oh-so-long ago to keep checking up on Pepsi's "Refresh Everything" Project* and I must admit that the results look like they may actually come to fruition. This shit seems pretty legitimate. The first group of projects have been voted on and, so long as my eyes don't deceive me, Pepsi is going to fund the top ten projects in three price brackets (5K, 10K, and 15K) and is going to fund the top two in the top bracket (20k). Color me impressed. Among the projects funded are programs to help senior citizens take care of their pets, ship Girl Scout cookies to troops serving abroad, build playgrounds, and encourage all-ages music spaces in underserved areas. Pepsi has also announced that they are going to do at least one additional round, and may continue the contest each month throughout the year. Pepsi Co., we here at I Hope You're not Squeamish, give you a check plus for following through on your promises. We hope that your next round is even more successful than this one was.
Check out www.refresheverything.com for the first round winners and to vote for the second group of proposed ideas. Support the causes you believe in by spending Pepsi's money!
