Moves up to #6 in voting for $250,000 grant
HANNIBAL, MO. -- Folks at the Mark Twain Museum hope to help themselves while helping others.
They have joined a voting coalition as they work towards the $250,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project for the Becky Thatcher House.
The coalition includes the Mark Twain Group and eight other non-profit organizations.
Members of the coalition agree to vote for each other's projects each day to gain additional votes.
"We're telling all our folks vote for those other folks, they're telling their supporters vote for them and I think when you're working on a team like that and really trying to spread the word I really see it helping us a lot," said Ryan Murray with the Mark Twain Museum.
The Becky Thatcher House has moved up to #6 in votes.
In Quincy the Madonna House is no longer in contention for the Pepsi Grant but plans to resubmit in March for a new round of possible grants.
The Quincy YMCA also is no longer in the running.
