Another great reason to play...

This is a comment sent to me by Carla Snell. She is a long-time scout leader, a very involved mother and an overall wonderful person.

This is what Carla will do with the prize if she wins -

"I had to think long and hard about who I would donate the money to if I win. There's so many charities and so many areas in need. Some get more attention than others too! I want the money to help someone right now; I'm very impatient. I've been a Girl Scout leader for 6 years now and have seen how it helps girls grow strong. My daughter, Lydia, is full of confidence and always having fun with the events we go to. She's also been able to go to resident camp 3 years in a row. She's been able to enjoy archery, hiking, canoes, and horseback riding all these years when so many girls have not ever been at all. In fact, many of them cannot even afford the vests or books and have to ask for financial aid.
San Jacinto Council has a scholarship program to send girls to camp that, otherwise, would never get to experience it. If I win I will donate the money to this program. The amount that's already been raised is enough to cover the cost to send 3 girls to Girl Scout camp for a week!"

When you consider participating, please remember that there a lots of great stories and great causes out there.

We are getting close to the April 5th cutoff, so please keep spreading the word and get this prize higher.

Together we can do amazing things.
