Help Nuҫi’s Space win $50,000 from Pepsi!

 Do you know anyone who drinks Pepsi/Diet Pepsi/Pepsi Max? The bottle caps or cardboard boxes can unlock multiple votes for Nuҫi’s Space.

Nuҫi’s Space, a local nonprofit health and music resource center is in the running for a $50,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project, and we need the community’s help to make it happen. Only the top 10 organizations at the end of the month will receive funding, so we are asking community members to vote for Nuҫi’s Space to help us reach the top.

If awarded, the Pepsi grant will benefit Nuҫis Space’s Counseling Assistance Program helping the nonprofit provide obstacle-free mental health treatment to uninsured musicians as well as provide resources for low-cost services to uninsured non-musicians in Athens.

Voting runs from NOW through August 31. You can vote a few different ways:
