Vote Now and Help Children with Special Needs
Chase (the bank) is giving away $1 million in an online voting contest thru Facebook. They have selected a group of charities and now it is up to Facebook users to vote on which of these charities gets to share the
money. The organization with the most votes, ending this Friday, gets $1 million dollars, the next four will get $100,000.
There is only one Jewish charity that made the final list: The Friendship Circle. It is a Chabad run program that provides assistance and support to the families of children with special needs. This is the original chapter of FC, servicing the greater Detroit area. There are currently about 80 across the country.
This is the final day. Please vote before Shabbos for the Friendship Circle @ www.vote4fc.com. Please forward to anyone you know who has a facebook account.
