Help CKUA Radio help mentor young songwriters in Alberta
(March 9, 2011)

CKUA Radio has been shortlisted for the opportunity to secure a $100,000 grant to support a Songwriter-in-Residence Program to help mentor junior songwriters in Alberta. The funding is part of a bigger community outreach program that Pepsi is conducting North America wide, to fund various non-profit projects. CKUA has made it through the first round of approvals.  
 
In order to “win” the money, CKUA needs to receive the most votes for our project. The campaign runs for 60 days – March 1 – April 30thand each person can vote once per day (ie 60 votes per person if you do it daily).
 
Here’s how you can help: Vote for CKUA right now @ refresheverything.ca/ckua
 
Help spread the word –re-tweet CKUA's latest Twitter post twitter.com/ckuaradio or share this message with your Facebook community.
 
Vote OFTEN! You can do it daily.
 
Help us help Alberta Songwriters (and while you’re at it, there are MANY other valuable projects who need support in other funding categories – you have 10 votes per day, but can only vote for any given project once per day).
