Help Trees for Troops Bring More Military Families Christmas Trees by Voting Online in PepsiRefresh

Oct. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- CHESTERFIELD, MO – Supporting military troops and their families this Christmas is just a few clicks away.  Trees for Troops, a program of the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, makes the holidays a little brighter for military personnel and their families by giving them fresh, full-sized Christmas Trees grown by American farm families.  

Trees for Troops is competing with charities nationwide through the Pepsi Refresh Project for a $250,000 grant. Pepsi gives out $1.3 million each month to top vote getters, in amounts ranging from $5,000 up to $250,000.

You can help Trees for Troops deliver an additional 5,000 trees to military families by casting a daily vote in the Pepsi Refresh Project.

Go to www.refresheverything.com/treesfortroops then create an account with your name, email and birthday so you can quickly login each day to vote.

Or you can vote from your mobile phone by texting 102662 to Pepsi (73774).  Voting is open the entire month of October. Don’t delay, vote everyday.

Many military personnel spend the holidays far from family members – both immediate and their extended families.  The gift of a Christmas tree shows military families that they are not alone and that America appreciates their service and sacrifice.  

Trees for Troops Facts:
• Since 2005, the program has delivered more than 66,000 Real Christmas Trees to military families at more than 50 bases across the U.S.
• In 2009 alone, Trees for Troops delivered more than 16,500 trees to all branches of the military.
