Hey, Facepunch.
I'd like to request some help in getting my friend's Pepsi Refresh Project Idea ([URL]http://www.refresheverything.com[/URL]) to number 1!
In the contest that he submitted his idea for, the winner gets $50,000 to fund a great community idea.
Now, let's get to my friend.
His name is Dan Moon and he is currently a senior at Loyola Univeristy Chicago trying to create a non-profit organization, which reaches out to intercity teenagers. He has worked as a college mentor at Immanuel Lutheran Church's after school program (IYO) for students in the Edgewater neighborhood. If you like nice and easy-going guys that casually play games once in a while and is generally a great person to be around, he's your guys!
This is his idea:
[quote]The main objective of this project is to provide the intercity teenagers with an alternative pathway apart from violence, drugs, getting in trouble with the law, and part of the vicious cycle breaking apart families. My main goal is to utilize college students from the chicagoland area, who have participated in high school/ collegiate sports teams to mentor middle school/ high school students in a 10 month sports program. I would also try to get professional athletes of the various sports these kids are participating in to mentor and provide advice to the teenagers. It would be a good way for the students to explore various careers by having them attend various seminars and provide them with the resources they need to achieve their dreams.[/quote][B]tl;dr for the majority of FP: A 10 month sports program for the troubled teens of the Chicago area as an alternate to going through the life of crime.[/B]
So I ask you to simply Connect with Facebook or create an account in the matter of minutes by clicking this link:

and vote for his idea!
Voting ends [B]July 31st[/B], so please, hurry up!
I'm pretty sure you can vote everyday.
Please don't act like a douche and criticize the idea and such. I believe his idea is the best, and that the ones that are in the top 5 aren't even that great.
I'm not using you guys as my personal army... merely just reaching out for some help to support this great idea!
Thanks, guys.

Also, I apologize if this is supposed to be in Fast Threads! I thought it would get the most attention here.
And I will be updating this thread as much as I can for the position.
[B]Current Position:
258nd[/B]
He doesn't need our help. He's DAN MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.
Haha, well apparently he does..
The idea is only in 272nd place!
Is he someone who I would like?

Depends, do you like nice and easy-going guys? I mean, he's not a guy to dislike, if that's what you mean.
You know since he's not getting anything I really see no problem with this. I'll vote just to help a cause out.

Yeah! All the money goes towards academic scholarships and such. None of the money goes to him.
That does sound like a good thing to vote for...
But the idea of having returning vets from the war and starting businesses sounds promising.
Who knows...They could be Mercenaries for hire someday. That sounds like a very legitimate way to make money.
What a ground breaking idea!
Nah I'll vote. :]
I guess I will help:)

Please don't mention other ideas in here :(
And well, by giving an alternative to these troubled teens, there's much more of an opportunity for some great ideas and great people. After all, those who have lived the hard life know how to cherish life the best, am I right?

^Oh, he's much cooler. Much, much cooler.
Thanks to those that vote and have voted! Facepunch isn't such a bad community haha.
I don't understand why people have rated me box.
rated heart <3
Voted. Big fan of fp votes.
Voted. Hope your friend wins.
I voted, I hope some fag doesn't go in and try to fuck it up like hooker vomit.
Was Dan boobies? Also, I voted. Good luck to him.
So, it would be teaching kids that they can be "sports stars" as a career path? Yeah that will happen...
#1 is a hip hop academy? Do you really need to go to an academy to yell "YO YO FUCK BITCHES SMOKE WEED" into a mic? That's just dumb, your friend deserves it more but I doubt he'll win it.
Voted, good luck
Also, OP's cool guy friend

Tell him good luck too
Holy shit.. he looks like my cousin.
Aw, I can't because I'm not in the US :saddowns:
Dan is not Moon, Dan is Boobies.
Haha, you guys are so great!
The idea's in 258th place now.
Only if it's called F5
I have to sign up, fuck that.
Voted, but I'd like to mention how a majority of the top ones are all stupid shit. I get it, the arts are important, and I'm a major backer of that, but there are so many better ideas than a rap academy.
snippitty-snippiddy-snip!
I voted for your friend!
