Chase Community Giving opportunity

Hi Everyone!

I was just made aware of an opportunity to help Red Lake Rosies get $25,000. By clicking on the link below - you will be taken to the Chase Community Giving page on Facebook. Chase is giving away $5 million to various charities and you have an opportunity to help pick which ones will be a recipient. It can be incredibly rewarding when your vote has a local impact. Simply vote for your favorite nonprofit and then get friends and others on Facebook to do the same. You can select from over 500,000 charities that focus on education, healthcare, housing, environmental issues, combating hunger, arts and culture, human services, and animal welfare. Give your charity the recognition it deserves and needs with Chase Community Giving. Please pass this on to your friends.
