Winning a $250,000 Grant from Pepsi Refresh Can Ensure Success of Million Hours of Power -- Help Bring More Men to PTA! Help us by forwarding this information to your fellow PTA members and family and friends and ask them support a great cause.

National PTA® with our Million Hours of Power campaign is still eligible for the Pepsi Refresh Project during October, having finished as one of the top 100 vote-getters in September. PTA can earn a $250,000 grant for the Million Hours of Power male involvement campaign if you and your PTA help us generate votes.

WHAT IS MILLION HOURS OF POWER?
Million Hours of Power is a campaign to inspire men to dedicate at least one million hours of service to the health, education, and well-being of America's youth during this school year. The benefits to children are tremendous when parents get involved. Million Hours of Power has already generated more than 5,000 hours of service from men for the benefit of children, schools, and communities.

Winning the Pepsi Refresh project will allow PTA to build on this momentum. The grant will support town hall meetings, fund tool kits for local PTAs, launch media campaigns, and promote a male volunteer of the year award. These are just some of the ways the grant can provide PTA resources to educate men on how critical their involvement is to their children's development.
