Comet Skateboards is trying for a $50,000 grant from
 Pepsi in the new Pepsi Refresh Project. Pepsi is looking 
for "people and non-profits with ideas that will have a 
positive impact." You submit your idea, and people can 
vote on it. At the end of the month the top ideas get grants 
for thousands of dollars.
Comet Skateboards is in the running for the $50,000 
grant to improve the Oakland and Ithaca Skateparks, 
and to run a mentorship and cultural exchange program.
 You can see a breakdown of how they plan to use the money
 and what their program entails on thePepsi Refresh Everything website.
 Watch the video about what Comet Skateboards would like to do,
 and push the white "Vote for This Idea" button on the right side
 of the screen. Comet moved from 200th place, up to 70th, but as
 I write this they've slipped back to 82nd. The top 10 ideas win 
 a day until the end of February, it costs you nothing to vote,
 and every vote counts!
