Vote for United Way (for a bigger piece of the pie!)

This holiday, you can cast a vote for lasting change and better lives through United Way. Electronics retailer Best Buy is offering to donate $25,000 to four community groups:

  • United Way – Centraide
  • Salvation Army
  • Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada
  • Fast and Female presented by Best Buy

Best Buy has put the decision in the hands of its customers, and has set up a website for people to vote. The organization with the most votes will receive a donation of $10,000. The remaining three organizations will receive $7500, $5000 and $2500 in order of most votes.

It’s all part of the Best Buy for Kids program.

Cast your vote here! (it only takes a few seconds), and please consider forwarding this link to as many people as possible. This year, it’s going to make a crucial difference.

Voting closes on December 22, 2009 at midnight, PST. One vote per family is allowed.

The total donation will be distributed to all United Way locations based on % of participation of their employee campaign.  Our local Best Buy ran a fantastic campaign this year with over 33% of their employees participating.
