Hi, I'm a Carlsbad native (so proud!) and I'm participating in the Nike Back Your Block campaign through Rep Nation.

Nike has just announced that it will be supporting local organizations across the country by investing up to $650,000 in grants this year. It's called the National Grant Program- organizations can apply directly at their nearest NikeRetail location.

Once your organization applies, you can recruit your friends, colleagues, and fellow Carlsbad residents to vote for you- the entrant with most votes at the end of the campaign wins!

Are you interested? Check out the campaign link here: http://tinyurl.com/llh65w

(note: if the link is faulty, please e-mail me and i'll send you the correct one!):)

My e-mail address is dorman@usc.edu- if you apply, e-mail me and I'd be glad to get the word out for your cause via facebook/twitter/myspace! Good luck!

Becca
