Dear HOBY International Partners and Friends, Earlier
this month, HOBY was awarded a $25,000 grant from Chase Community Giving as
part of a philanthropic program supporting nonprofit organizations doing good
work. With thousands of deserving organizations competing for these grant
dollars, we were proud to finish in the top 15. Now,
HOBY has advanced to Round 2 of the competition where we will compete for votes
on Facebook
with 99 other worthwhile organizations with the winner receiving an additional $500,000 grant
towards accomplishing “A Big Idea”. Our
Big Idea is to create a NEW GLOBAL YOUTH SUMMIT. It will be a weeklong
event that will challenge 400 students from 50 countries to break through
cultural barriers and collaborate with world leaders to find solutions to the
world’s most pressing needs: poverty, hunger, racism, global warming, bullying
and more. Through the power of social media, HOBY will engage tens of thousands
of additional youth worldwide as they virtually meet leaders, interactively ask
questions and share ideas, creating an additional opportunity for our
international partners to provide their students with a
global leadership program. Your
vote can help make our Global Youth Summit a reality. Voting is being held now through May
26th. Please go on and vote today. Encourage
your students, alumni, friends, family and colleagues to do the same. Every vote is
needed. You know what great work HOBY does so please
step up and help us be the winner. All you need to do now is: It only takes a moment to make a huge different. Vote at http://www.vote.hoby.org. Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support. Javier
La Fianza We need your assistance in helping HOBY receive $500,000 in
grant money.
Please take a few minutes to
help by voting for HOBY!
