Right, now at this very moment, Greater Buffalo is in danger of losing a $33,000 grant from Bell Helmets, simply because we can’t get enough people to “click” and stop that money from going to Virginia. What we’re talking about here is FREE MONEY. It takes a few seconds to help this cause, and a few more seconds to tell your friends.
I’m hoping that Buffalo Rising readers might be able to support WNYMBA’s bid for a $33K “BellBuilt” grant – an article was featured on this site last week. At stake is a multi-use trail that will welcome all riders and hikers, kids and adults alike.
Today, after a week of voting, we are being edged out by Virginia. Buffalo is at 6705 votes vs. 7116 votes for Virginia. One good day of voting could put us ahead of our competitors.
Please help in spreading the word through E-Mail, Facebook and Twitter contacts. The voting period ends May 18th! We’re all in this together, as a region, and there’s nothing more simple than clicking a couple of buttons to cast your vote.
It’s a popularity contest – we need votes, plain and simple. We win when bikers, non-bikers, parents, grandparents, kids, even dogs & cats with e-mail addresses, take just a few seconds to vote. Our project is titled “Holiday Valley Ski Resort Trail” on the bellhelmets.com/bellbuilt/ website.
ANYONE can vote – Any & ALL e-mail addresses register a vote. Please help us with this cause by casting your vote today.
