SXSW – Follow my Whrrl

I am at the South by Southwest Interactive Conference in Austin TX right now. I am one of the finalist for the Pepsi Refresh Project. Tomorrow will be my presentation to explain to people why they should donate their cash rather than cans for food drives. The food pantries can buy a whole case of food for $1. So instead of buying 1 can of vegetables for $1, give that $1 to a food pantry and they can provide 24 cans!

Follow my Whrrl story on my SXSW trip!!

Pepsi Refresh Project

Pepsi is having a contest called Pepsi Refresh Project –  for those who are attending SXSW (South by Southwest).  Since I just found out I am going to get to go to SXSW I entered the contest.  It would be so cool to see this come to fruition.  My friend Debbie is the one who works at a food pantry.  She has told me how important it is to give cash instead of cans for food drives. She is also in the process of developing a web site called “Set Another Place.org”. It should up and running by the end of the month. It will focus on raising money for your local food pantries.

She has referred me to a site called Cash Feeds More that the guy has a funny rap to help you understand why.

You can enter to win on Consumer Queen if you are going to SXSW.  The Consumer Queen will pick one winner from her site of what she feels is the best idea. She will then represent that person at SXSW and campaign for them to win the Pepsi Refresh Project. Whoot Whoot…cheer me on!!
